A well-preserved rectangular enclosure (E-W 31m, N-S 28m) defined by an earthen bank and external fosse. Possible entrance at S. From S to SW, the bank is overlain by a modern field boundary, and here the fosse has been disturbed by the widening of a stream. There is a church (GA086-178001-) in the interior.
