Situated on a very gentle E/N-facing slope. Circular site (diam. c. 30m) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.3m at S - 4.5m NE-E; H 0.5-1.1m). At the W the bank merges with a more substantial field bank. At the E the upper part of the bank has been removed while the whole bank has been demolished along a c. 10m long segment at the SW. There is no trace of a fosse. A 1.2m gap at NW may be a modern feature. The interior is level and striped with lazy beds.
