In pasture, located on a low elevation, with good views, especially to N where ground falls into a broad, flat valley. There is a farmyard 80m to S. Slightly raised circular area or platform (19m N−S; 19m E-W) defined by low remnants (Wth 1.5-2m; int. 0.1m; ext. H 0.5-0.7m) of a stone bank or wall. The stone bank barely rises above interior ground level, but has a fairly well defined external slope; for most of the circuit it is evident as a low grass-covered rise, from which stones protrude randomly, but on the E arc the sod cover is partly removed, exposing small, loose limestone rubble. The interior is flat and grass-covered. A post and wire fence, on a N−S axis, cuts across the inner edge of the enclosing wall on the E side of the enclosure, and a farm track skirts the W side. A single hawthorn tree stands on the SE edge, on the line of the field fence.
