In level grassland. Marked on the OS maps as a subcircular enclosure (c. 30m N-S; c. 25m E-W) and described by Wheeler (Topgr. Files, Dúchas) as a ‘small subrectangular enclosure, almost effaced except on W side where a bank and fosse run in straight line’. No visible surface
trace survives but its outline is clearly visible on the OSi Orthophotographs.
