Situated on the N-facing slope of a ridge overlooking a river valley. An esker extends E-W along the line of the river on the N side. Depicted on the latest ed. OS 6-inch map as a partial enclosure surrounded by quarrying; not marked on the 1st ed. and not now visible at ground level. A hollow area at about this location was, according to the landowner, known as a 'fort' and was levelled 40-50 years ago.
