The 1999 inventory recorded a circular scrub-covered area 31.5 metres north-south and 31.4 metres east-west at the south crest of a gentle south-facing slope. A 1.3-metre scarp runs west through southeast into a road wall, while a 3-metre-wide bank with a 1-metre internal height remains on the southwest and west.
