A circular area (diam. 23m NW-SE) enclosed by an earthen bank (H 1m; ext. 1.5m) visible from E to S only, elsewhere defined by vegetation growth where the bank has been levelled. A modern road intersects the bank at S and possibly separates the two sites from each other. Not depicted on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map.
