What is recorded here
Situated on a low rise in pasture. The site has been largely levelled. Remains comprise a slightly raised subcircular area (c. 32m N-S; 27.6m E-W) defined on W-N by a scarp (H 1.2-1.5m). At E-S the scarp has been almost entirely levelled and its outline can be traced only with difficulty. A farm track skirts the S side of the enclosure.
