Located on a S-facing slope. What is probably a low earthwork enclosure (int. diam. c. 40m) is most clearly visible as a vegetation mark in pasture defined by a fosse (Wth c. 3-7m) on Google Earth (02/07/2018). It is also visible as a low earthwork platform separated by a fosse from a wide outer bank on LiDAR imagery from the Open Topographic Viewer. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
