An irregularly oval, domed and grass-covered area (dims 93m NE-SW; 56m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank best preserved N-ESE (at NE: Wth 6.5m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 1.85m), with slight traces of an outer fosse (at NE: Wth of top 6m; Wth of base 2.4m; D 0.3m) NNW-NE. The perimeter survives as a low bank (at SW: Wth 2.5-3m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.45m) with slight traces of a possible inner fosse or silted drain (Wth 0.7m) S-NW. There is no identifiable original entrance. The perimeter is disturbed by quarrying ESE-S and overlain by two conjoined rectangular paddocks (dims 8.7m x 4m; 12m x 8m) defined by earthen banks at NW.
