The D-shaped grass-covered area measures 48 metres north-south and 42 metres east-west on the north-facing slope of an east-west ridge. An earthen bank runs northwest, east and southwest around the interior, while a fosse appears as a band of rushes on the northwest, east and southeast sides. The entrance and causeway face east, though a north-south field bank truncates the western edge and the fosse is re-cut as a drain toward the southeast.
