In rolling pasture, commanding extensive view to N across Blackwater River valley. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure on 1842, 1905 and 1936 OS 6-inch maps. Circular area (41m E-W; 40m N-S) defined by low rise (int. H 0.2m) E->SSW with slight scarp elsewhere. Intervening fosse (D 1m) and second substantial earthen bank (ext. H 1.8m) with external fosse (D 0.6m) survives E->SSW. Enclosing outer fosse in parts is narrow earthen bank (H 0.8m), which appears to be remains of field boundary. Interior slightly raised and slopes down to E.
