On slight rise in gently undulating terrain, under pasture. Ground has been levelled recently and grass is beginning to grow. The enclosure is not visible at ground level. A slight rise may indicate the former presence of a monument. It is depicted on 1st (1840-41) ed. OS 6-inch map as a triangular-shaped earthwork, possibly the remaining SW angle, with a length of the S and W side of a rectangular enclosure, which was truncated to the E side by a road running N-S. On the 2nd (1903-04) ed. OS 6-inch map only the W length of the earthwork is indicated, incorporated in a field boundary. Archaeological excavation within the possible enclosure in 2000, prior to the construction of houses, revealed no features or deposits of significance (Hodkinson 2002, 322).
