In rough pasture, on SSW-facing slope. Enclosing element is largely masked by dense overgrowth but consists of earthen bank (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 2.2m) at ESE and scarped edge (H 1.6m; Wth 5.7m) at SW, with external fosse (D 0.35m; Wth 1.65m) SSW->WSW. These enclose a circular area (diam. 33m). Interior is covered by dense thicket of thorn and briars. Fosse is littered with loose stones. A field boundary runs along outer edge of fosse SSW->NNW.
