In pasture, on a W-facing slope, towards the top of a low hill. A roughly circular area (36m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 5.2m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 0.6m) NNW-S and by a scarp (H 1.1m) S-NNW. There is external stone-facing along the scarp SW-WNW. The stone-facing continues for a short distance along the W side of a N-S field boundary which extends N from the scarp at NW. The interior is raised, though it still retains a slight slope down to the W, and has coniferous trees growing in it. Gaps occur through the bank at NW and S. There is a possible entrance (Wth 1.5-2m) at SE. A possible trackway (on a N-S axis) is situated to the E of the field boundary and it extends N of the scarp at NW to join a possible E-W road, situated 10-15m to the N.
