A raised circular (diam. 32m E-W) enclosed by two earth and stone banks and an intervening fosse (Wth 3-4m; ext. D 0.7m) best visible from SE through S. A poorly preserved inner bank (top Wth 1.5m; base Wth 2.7m; int.H 0.3m; ext. H 0.8m) has been reduced to a scarp in places while the better preserved external bank (top Wth 1.5m; base Wth 3m; ext. H 0.5m) is best visible from N to E. There is a possible causewayed entrance (Wth 3.5m) at the E. The interior follows the natural slope of the hillock rising from S to N.
