In pasture, utilizing a low natural elevation; the ground slopes down to E and S. Indicated as a circular embanked area on the 1838 OS 6-inch map and as an arc of a field boundary NW-SSW on the 1914 OS 6-inch map. A roughly circular area (26m N-S) defined NW-N by a slight rise, N-ESE by a scarp (H 0.65m) and SE-SSW by a scarp (H 1.3m) which merges with the line of a field boundary following the contour of the natural rise. The scarp diminishes S-SW and is truncated at W by a concrete shed. The interior is level and grass-covered. A cottage and outhouses lie immediately to W.
