In pasture, on gently-undulating terrain. Rectangular slightly raised area (39.5m N-S; 60.8m E-W) enclosed by inner earthen bank, outer earthen bank and intervening fosse. Inner bank (int. H 0.65m) survives NNW-> N; elsewhere defined by scarped edge (H 1.65m). Outer bank (int. H 1m; ext. H 0.52m) best preserved along SE->SW, does not survive along W side where clipped by field wall running along base of fosse; field wall merges with inner scarp edge at NW where it forms gap (Wth 3.2m). Outer bank replaced by earth and stone field bank along N and E sides, gap (Wth 4.2m) at NW corner. Interior, used as small pasture field, slightly higher S half due to outcropping limestone.
