In pasture, located on a ridge, overlooking an expanse of damp pasture at NW−NE; the spine of the ridge rises gently to SSW, restricting views.
A broadly oval enclosure is shown on the 1838 and 1931 OS 6-inch maps. It has been levelled, but the outline of a roughly circular, slightly raised area (36m N–S; 33.7m E–W) can still be traced, defined by broadly sloping sides (H 0.85m at N, 0.4m at S; Wth slope 5m at N, 3.4m at S) representing a levelled bank/scarp. A slight linear slump or depression extends on a NE−SW axis across the levelled scarp at SW. There is a hint of a depression outside the scarp at SE−S and at NW, possibly indicating a fosse.
The interior area slopes down very slightly to NNE.
