Enclosing a low hillock in undulating farmland. Marked on 3rd ed. of OS 6-inch map (1927) as subcircular enclosure (E-W c. 40m). The monument has since been cut in half by a field wall running E-W, and no visible surface trace survives to N of it. To S, all that survives is a poorly preserved scarp from E to SE, and a bank of earth and stone from SE to SSW. An old field bank abuts the monument at E. A subrectangular depression (E-W; L 12m, Wth 6m) defined by a low bank of earth and stone may be the remains of a house site (GA044-008001-). A ringfort (GA044-013----) lies 100m to SE.
