Situated on top of a low drumlin in mixed woodland. This is a grass and scrub-covered circular area (diam. 36.5m E-W; 33.6m N-S; int. dims 32.45m E-W; 27.8m N-S) with some trees defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4-7m; int. H 0.2m E-S to 1m W-N; ext. H 2-2.2m) and an external fosse (Wth of top 5-6.5m; Wth of base 2.5m; D 1m). The bank is best preserved at N and incorporated into a field bank NE-SE where the fosse is recut as a drain (Wth of base 1.5-2m; D 0.2m). The original entrance (Wth 2.6m) is a slight dip in the perimeter at SE, the lowest point of the interior. Rath (025-028---) is c. 50m to the S, and this monument remains unplanted, although overgrown, in a coniferous forest (Bing 2013).
