In pasture, on gentle NNE-facing slope. Circular area (diam. 20.5m) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank (int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.75m), best preserved along S and W arcs where stone-faced externally, but much degraded NE->ESE where it has becoming scarp-like in profile. Enclosing element and level interior are masked by dense overgrowth though there are some clearings along E and W verges of interior.
