Situated on a break in a NE slope in undulating terrain planted with barley. Depicted on the 1st ed. (1843) OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure and on the subsequent 1903 ed. as a rectangular area. The site has been levelled and only a roughly oval rise could be distinguished where the site once stood.
