It is a large raised oval area measuring 46.5m east-west and 43.5m north-south, defined partly by a scarp that merges with the natural slope of a hillock to reach 3.5m in height. A roughly built field wall sits at the upper edge of the scarp from the north to the east, while the west and northwest sections have been quarried away. Within the eastern quadrant is a roughly circular hollow about 5m across, bordered by a low rim of earth and stone.
