It occupies an oval area measuring about 25 metres north to south and 18 metres east to west on a south-southeast facing slope. A low earthen bank runs from southwest through west to northeast beside a scarp that runs east-southeast to southwest. The bank is levelled out from east-northeast to east-southeast where the original entrance probably lay, leaving only a slight lip between the exterior and interior.
