It occupies a slight southeast-facing slope and forms a grass-covered area measuring 33.8 metres north-south and 30.2 metres east-west. An earthen bank runs along the south-southeast to south-southwest edge, reaching its best preservation where a field wall overlaps it from southwest to north-northwest.
