In an area of pastureland and outcropping limestone sloping to the SW. The M6 motorway runs immediately to the S of the field in which the monument lies. This subcircular enclosure (40.2m N-S; 37.4m E-W) is not marked on the OS maps but it is clearly visible on aerial photographs (https://binged.it/2oxnmh0 last accessed 29 March 2017) and it was previously noted by Sutton (2009, 187). It is defined by a bank of earth and stone (base Wth 3.2m; top Wth 1.3m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.3m) from SW to N to SE. A small pit has been dug against its external face at N. At SE the bank is overgrown with thorn bushes and at SW it is defined by a broad tumbled spread of grass-covered boulders (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.24m; ext. H 0.26m). There is no visible trace of a fosse. The interior slopes steeply to the S. A hut site (GA083-080001-) is visible in the NW quadrant. Meandering field walls associated with a possible field system (GA083-80001-) extend off it at NE and SE. Another levelled field wall, running roughly N-S across the field, is visible immediately to its W. A concentric enclosure (GA083-079----) lies c. 85m to the NE.
