On level ground, in pasture. The monument is bisected by a NW-SE running field boundary with ditch, as indicated on both the 1st (1839) and revised (1899-1900) eds. of the OS 6-inch map. An oval enclosure (dims. c. 50m NE-SW; c. 38m NW-SE) defined by a bank and external fosse. According to local information the enclosure was levelled c. 1950, however, the outline of the enclosure, defined by the fosse, is still visible on satellite imagery (Digitalglobe, viewed 25 May 2021).
