Situated on the NE-facing slope of a slight NW-SE ridge (L c. 400m; H c. 2-4m). The cropmark of a D-shaped enclosure (dims c. 48m E-W; c. 40m N-S) defined by a single fosse is visible only on iMAPs (2022). The straight side at S (L c. 35m) incorporates the N side of a rectangular pond (dims c. 30m N-S; c. 20m E-W) that is visible on the aerial image and is represented on the 1902 edition of the OS 6-inch map. A NNE-SSW drain runs through the enclosure from the N edge of the pond. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
