In pasture, on a SE-facing slope. A circular area (c. 33.5m N-S; c. 33m E-W) defined by two earthen banks, an intervening fosse and an outer fosse. The inner bank (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.15m) has numerous cattle gaps. The intervening fosse (Wth c. 2.2m) is evident all around. The outer bank (Wth 3.4m) survives N-NW. An internal ledge (Wth 2m) near the base of the internal face of the outer bank survives all round. The outer fosse is evident S-WNW as a slight slope down to the base of the outer bank. A field boundary skirts the outer bank along the N arc. The uneven interior slopes down to the SE. There is a possible entrance through the inner (Wth 3m) and outer (Wth c. 1.6m) banks at SSE.
