In level poorly drained pasture. A slightly raised circular area (36.4m N-S; 37.6m E-W) enclosed by two earthen banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 5.4m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.65m) is low and eroded internally but with a broad external slope. The possible entrance (Wth 2m) is at NE, lined with two contiguous stones on the N side. The fosse (Wth 3m) is evident S-SE. The outer bank (Wth 4.7m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.7m) is best evident SW-N, partially levelled N-SE and levelled SE-SW. The interior is slightly raised in the centre and towards the S and is poached by cattle and covered in rushes. A field boundary and drain lie immediately to N and a drain immediately to S.
