Located at the summit of a hill, and just below the top of a N-facing cliff of rock outcrop (H c. 3m). At the foot of the cliff is a ledge (Wth 1.5-2m; L c. 6m) that has a slight barrier of lower rock outcrop (Wth c. 3m; max. ext. H c. 5m) to the N, and a farmhouse that was immediately to the NW has been removed.
