Located towards the top of the S-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass-covered oval area (int. dims 37m E-W; 32.5m N-S) defined by an overgrown, steep-sided, round-topped earthen bank (at NE: Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.85m; ext. H 0.9m), which is reduced to a scarp at E and which is separated by a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of base 3.3m) from an overgrown outer bank (Wth 1m; ext. H 0.4m). The enclosing features are levelled at S.
