Located towards the top of the S-facing slope of a NNW-SSE drumlin ridge. This is an overgrown circular area (diam. 37m N-S; 35m E-W) that slopes down to the S defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at NNW: Wth 8m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.2m; at NE: Wth 6.5m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.2m) that is only visible SSW-N-SE, and an outer rounded fosse (at NNW: Wth of top 6.8m; ext. D 1m; at NE: Wth 6m; ext. D 1.5m). There is an entrance (Wth 1.7m) but no causeway at NE.

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 17 June 2017
