It occupies flat pasture beside a ringfort to the south, forming a 37 by 18 metre rectangular area bounded by an earthen bank and outer ditch. The west half remains visible, while the east half is covered by furze and overgrowth, with gate piers in the south-east corner possibly belonging to a nearby farmhouse.

H 0.1m; ext. H 0.3m) and outer fosse (Wth 3m; ext. D 0.2m) which is only visible at W. The bank and fosse on the E side appears to be incorporated in the field boundary which runs N-S along the edge of the enclosure. Only the W half of the enclosure is visible as the E half is covered underneath furze bushes and overgrowth. Gate piers in SE corner of field may be associated with a nearby farmhouse located in the same field NW of the enclosure. The enclosure, which is clearly visible on an aerial photograph (CUCAP 1966, APD. 61; CUCAP 1968, AVS 45), may be associated with this farmhouse.
