It occupies rough pasture on the north-west-facing slope of a ridge. The slightly raised circular area measures eighteen metres north-south and sixteen metres east-west, with a zero-point-eight-metre scarp and a two-metre band of rushes marking a probable external fosse along the north, east and south arcs. A road and deep drain lie at the base of the slope to the west-south-west.
