In a thicket of overgrowth at the N end of a pasture field. There is a stream c. 80m to E.
Circular area (estimated diam. 25-30m) defined by a stone bank, incorporated into later field walls at S, W and N. The interior is not noticeably raised relative to exterior ground level. It is defined at S–SW by a stone bank (Wth 2.5-3m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 0.8m), and at WSW-N by a drystone wall (Wth 1.5m; H 1m), which appears to be a field wall; at NE–SE it is defined by a low stony rise, and at S the perimeter is incorporated into a later field wall. Immediately outside the stone bank at SE, a shallow depression (Wth 2.5m) is evident, with a hint of a rise on its outer edge. It is unclear if these features are evidence of a fosse and external bank.
There is a local tradition of a souterrain (MA063-015001-) and a children’s burial ground (MA063-015002-) in the interior. The interior is densely covered in brambles and ferns, and the perimeter is ringed with hazel, hawthorn and sycamore. Overgrowth impeded inspection.
