Marked only on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped feature, it sits on a gentle N-facing slope where an arc of a bank survives S-NW. An E-W field bank bisects the site, while a southern field bank truncates the perimeter and an E-W drain runs outside.

It is bisected by an E-W field bank, from which a field bank runs S which truncates the perimeter at S. There is an E-W drain outside the perimeter at S. The interior is grass-covered N of the E-W field bank and scrub-covered S of it. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
