Located on a slight SW-facing slope. The faint cropmark of a circular area (int. diam. c. 20m NE-SW; ext. diam. c. 40m NE-SW) defined by two fosses is visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018). It is truncated by a NE-SW field bank at NW at the edge of the inner enclosure, which is eccentrically placed within the outer fosse and the features are not visible NW of the field bank. It was first reported by Simon Dowling.
