Located in flat pasture, merging at W with an expanse of rough, heather-covered peaty ground.
This enclosure is not shown on the 1837-8 and the 1922 OS 6-inch maps. It consists of a slightly raised, sub-circular area (31m E-W; c. 25m N-S) defined at SW by a remnant of bank (L c. 10m; Wth 3m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.65m) and elsewhere by a low scarp (H 0.35-0.4m), outside which there is a broad, shallow fosse (Wth 4.5m; D 0.2m), which can be traced at NW−E. Outside the fosse at NE there is a slight, flat-topped rise (Wth c. 4m), distinguished by different vegetation growth, which may be the remnants of an external bank. The interior is level, but has a rough, uneven surface. There are causeway-like features across the fosse at E (Wth 2m) and at WSW (Wth 4m), but it is unclear if either represents an original entrance. The outline of the enclosure is indistinct on the S arc, and at SW it merges with heather-covered bog. A rough E−W farm track lies a few meters to S.
