Internal diam. 31.5m N-S and 37.5m NE-SW. An oval space defined on its N side by a stretch of earthen bank 2m high and an external fosse 3m wide. The S side is defined by a steep artificially raised platform edge up to 5m in height. Two large stones on the interior of the bank suggest that it was originally stone-faced. Part of the fosse is now used as a trackway. A 2m wide gap in the bank to the N is probably the original entrance as there is no fosse before it. The interior slopes N to S as does the external ground. There are extensive views. The land is covered by bushes.
