On a very gentle SSW-facing slope, in rough pasture, overlooking a gently undulating landscape in all directions. An oval area (32m N-S; 28m E-W) defined by the remains of a bank which has been reduced to a scarp (Wth 1.2m; H 0.2m). The scarp is very low and almost completely levelled N-NE and ESE-SE. The scarp is not readily visible S-W, due to dense briars, where it abuts a field boundary (long-axis WNW-ESE). Thorn trees grow intermittently around the top of the scarp N-ESE and at W. The faint remains of a very shallow fosse (overall Wth 5.1m; basal Wth 2.7m; D 0.05m) are traceable WNW-E. The interior slopes down very gently to SSW, where it is very poorly drained and poached by livestock. Ringforts (CL035-127001- and CL035-127002-) are c. 18m and 45m to NE, respectively.
