Located towards the N end of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 40.5m N-S; 40.3m E-W; int. diam. 34.3m E-W; 33.5m N-S) defined by a round-topped, steep-sided earthen bank (Wth of base 5.5-8m; int. H 0.7-1m; ext. H 2.8-3.4m) which is planted with coniferous trees, and an external fosse (Wth of top 6.6-9.m; Wth of base 2-3.5m; ext. D 0.4m S-W to 0.9m at N). An outer bank (Wth of base 2m; max. int. H 1.5m; ext. H 0.7m) exists only at S and is probably a field bank as it is separated from the fosse by a berm (Wth 1m). The entrance (Wth of base 4m) and causeway (Wth of top 3m) are at E (max. ext. diam. 57m N-S; 61.5m E-W).
