Marked as a bivallate embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 65-70m) circumscribed by farm lanes NE-S-W on the 1839 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a slight S-facing slope. This is a raised circular, scrub-covered area (diam. 43m E-W) defined by an eroded earthen bank (at N: Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext.
