In pasture, on a S-facing slope with views SW to Mangerton Mountain. A raised circular area (c. 47m E-W; 44m N-S) defined by an inner earthen bank (Wth 7.25m; int. H 1.6m; ext. H 2.6m) obscured by overgrowth, by an intervening fosse (Wth 4.8m) and by an outer earthen bank (Wth 3.35m; int. H 2.6m; ext. H 2.6m) also obscured by overgrowth. Recent breaks which occur in the outer bank at SSW (Wth 5.5m) and at NNE (Wth c. 7.5m) lead to the fosse, where the bases of both flanking banks and the base of the fosse have recently been re-cut NNE-SSW. The fern-covered fosse is intact SSW-NNE. The level interior is covered with overgrowth and has a possible souterrain (KE067-008001-) to the NW of the centre. A curvilinear field boundary skirts the external base of the bank SSW-W and an open drain skirts it NW-N.
