On a gentle SW-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 32.9m) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.8m; H 0.65-1.2m) with a very wide deep intervening fosse (Wth 8m; D 1.2m) and an outer bank (Wth 3.6m; H 0.3m); the latter is only visible from NNE-E-ESE. Elsewhere it has been levelled but its outline is still identifiable. A break (Wth 3.1m) in the banks at ENE with an accompanying causeway may mark the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F.
