In pasture, on a SW-facing slope, to the S of a road. A circular area (31m E-W; 28m N-S) defined by two earthen bank and an intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.05m) is stone faced internally. The intervening fosse (Wth 2.5m) is covered with overgrowth along the W arc. The outer bank (Wth 4.1m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.6m) has been incorporated into the field boundary system along the S arc. The interior slopes down to the W and coniferous trees and ferns grow in it. A raised area (H 0.6-0.8m; L c. 6m) extends from the break in the inner bank at WSW to a stony area (L c. 9m N-S), covered with overgrowth, in the SW quadrant. There is a causeway entrance (Wth 1.4m) through the inner and outer banks at E. The bank terminals at the entrance appear to be stone faced. Numerous gaps occur in both banks.
