Internal diam. 17m. A circular area enclosed by a massive earthen bank and an external fosse. The bank survives between 1m and 2m in height all the way around. At the N side the bank has been disturbed and a modern fence built on top. Here three stones on edge have been revealed suggesting an internal revetment. The fosse is best preserved at the SW where it is over 1m deep and 3m wide. A gap 4.8m wide in the bank on the E side appears to be the disturbed remains of the entrance. The interior slopes from SW to NE and in general the N half is c. 1m lower than the rest. It is located in a commanding position on the N end of a N-S ridge sloping steeply to the E and W.
