On top of a low cliff edge on S bank of Bride River. Defined by three earthen banks with intervening fosses E->SE; inner earthen bank SE->W; straight cliff edge defines N side. Interior raised above level of field to S. Inner bank (int. H 1m; ext. H to E 2.8m) broken to SE where outer two banks and fosses end; low bank curves W-ESE form outer face inner bank across truncated ends of banks and fosses. S face earthen, low; N face stone, dropping steeply to base of fosses and revetting their ends. Stone drain runs from base of inner 'revetment' into fosse; both fosses probably deepened by water action. Machine-made drain outside outer bank. Entire site heavily overgrown.
