Situated on a gentle N/NE-facing slope overlooking marshy ground. Circular area (diam. 22.7m) defined at the W by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.1m), and elsewhere by a scarp (H 0.8m). There is a slight indication of an external fosse (Wth 2m) at the NW but this may be a drain to the stream which runs E-W 5m from the N edge of the site. No indication of an entrance or internal features.
