The levelled site remains visible as a slight rise measuring about 25 metres from north to south, with a northern bank trace 2.6 metres wide and 0.20 metres high. The western edge appears truncated by a roughly north-south field boundary.

Situated on a slight rise in undulating pastureland, sloping gradually to the W. Depicted on the 1st ed.
