On a gentle SW-facing slope in grassland. Very poorly preserved circular enclosure (D 32m) defined by a scarp (H 1m) and external fosse. A field bank cuts the monument at NW and SW, and only faint traces of the scarp and fosse are visible to SW of it. At NE, a linear hollow (Wth 6m), up to 0.5m in depth, runs off at right angles from the fosse.
