Situated on flat poorly drained land at the W edge of a bog. A circular enclosure which shows up on an aerial photograph taken in 1970 (CUCAP, BDL 79) and is also depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1843 ed. OS 6-inch map. Also a bivallate circular enclosure visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP, BDL 79; GSIAP, R202). Neither site is visible at ground level.
