In undulating average pasture, located on a slight rise. Views are extensive to W and N, but restricted somewhat by rising ground to S.
Slightly raised circular area (29.3m N–S; 28.8m E–W) defined by an earthen bank with an external fosse, outside which at SE–WNW are remnants of a second bank. The inner bank (Wth 4m at NE, 4.5m at WSW; int. H 1m at NE, 0.5m at WSW; ext. H 1.6m at NE, 1.5m at WSW) is compact and well defined, with small areas of erosion at S and N. The fosse (Wth 4.5-4.8m; D 0.2m) survives as a broad, very shallow depression, most clearly traced at W, and marked by a growth of rushes. Traces of the levelled outer bank are evident only as a broad, flat band (Wth c. 3-4m) of hard, rough ground, very slightly raised at W, distinguished by differential vegetation growth. There are a number of narrow eroded gaps (Wth 0.6-1.4m) and low areas in inner bank at NW and at S.
The inner bank is ringed with hawthorn, gorse and brambles, with grasses and rushes in the interior.
