Located on a small drumlin. This is a circular overgrown area (diam. 23m) defined by traces of an earthen bank that is largely reduced to a scarp (at S: H 1m) with an external fosse (at S: Wth of top 5; Wth of base 2m; ext. D 0.9m) which is incorporated into a drain W-NE. There is a modern entrance at SE, but the original entrance is not identified.
