In pasture, on the W-facing slope of a rise. A circular area (34m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.8m) along the N and S arcs and by a scarp elsewhere. An external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.2m) is evident along the S arc. The N portion of the interior is raised up to 0.4m above external ground level.
