In a low-lying position on the S-facing slope of a low drumlin. Grass-covered subcircular platform (dim. 28m N-S; H 0.6-1.2m) defined by an overgrown earthen bank which is best preserved NW-N (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.65m) but reduced to a scarp (H 1.2m) overlain by a field bank at S, and an external fosse (Wth 2.5-3m; D 0.5-1.2m).
