Situated on a W-facing slope just off the summit of a gently sloping hill. A poorly preserved site which has been levelled except for the S portion where the bank has been incorporated into a hedgerow. Originally the site consisted of a raised circular area (diam. 32.5m N-S; 35.5m E-W) enclosed by a bank, which has been reduced to a scarp, (H 0.36m) and an external fosse (Wth 4.6m). No other features visible.
