In pastureland on a N-facing slope. Originally identified during aerial reconnaissance in 1989. This subrectangular enclosure (30m E-W; 18m N-S) is defined by the remains of low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.18m; ext. H 0.3m) to the W, N and E and by traces of a levelled bank (Wth 4.4m; int. H 0.18m; ext. H 0.15m) on the S side. Short portions of a linear bank of similar dimensions extend for a further length of c. 4m from the NE and SE corners. Another linear bank (long axis c. N-S; L 21m) of similar dimensions is visible c. 13m to the E. A large D-shaped depression encloses the area to S. Recent ground disturbance had occurred within and around monument.
