Located on the W-facing slope of a Drumlin. This is an a grass and scrub-covered circular area (int. diam. 26.4m N-S; 24.2m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at NE: Wth 3.1m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 1m) which is reduced to a scarp (H 1.9m) at NW. This is separated by a fosse (at NE: Wth of top 2.85m; D 0.45m) from an outer bank (at NE: Wth 1m; H 0.2m) which has a stone field wall on top of it and is probably a field bank.
