On a very gentle NW-facing pasture slope. A small, poorly preserved, circular area (diam. 24m) is defined by a low, earthen bank (Wth 2.6-3.8m; int. H 0.4-0.6m; ext. H 0.8-1m) NW-NE-SE, partly hedged as a field boundary NE-E-SE, and abutted externally along N by a landscaped garden. A possible entrance on the N side, noted in 1972 (SMR file), is no longer clearly identifiable. The interior slopes gently down to NW and contains a coppiced hazel stand.
