Situated on a N-facing slope with a small SSW-NNE stream immediately to the W. This is a grass and rush-covered D-shaped area (dims 33m N-S; 24m E-W; int. dims 28m N-S; 23.3m E-W) defined by a grass-covered earthen bank (Wth 4-6m; int. H 0.3-0.7m; ext. H 1-1.6m) and an external rounded fosse (Wth of top 5m at N to 9m at S; D 0.8m), with a scarp (H 4m) down to the stream on the straight W side. There is an entrance (Wth c. 4m), probably not original, at NE. A rectangular house site (int. dims 7m N-S; 2.8m E-W) at the centre is defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 1m; H 0.3m) with a doorway (Wth 1m) in the E wall.
