On a SW-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 34m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 4-5.5m; H 0.8-1.5m) with a wide, deep, intervening fosse (Wth 6-6.2m; D 1-1.5m) and outer bank (Wth 6m; H 1-1.7m) with an outer fosse (Wth 4.8m; D 0.5m), which is identifiable only from ESE–SE. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded that the original entrance was at S. At the centre of the interior is a large limestone boulder. Compiled by: Patrick F.
