Located at the crest of a steep slope down SE-W. This is not depicted on any map although there is a curve in the field bank W-NE depicted on the 1836 and 1908 editions of the OS 6-inch map. The enclosure is visible on aerial photographs (GSIAP: N 732-5) from the 1970s and on more recent imagery like Google Earth (12/11/2005, 19/03/2015, 16/05/2018, 14/05/2020). This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 60m E-W; 54.5m) defined by a field bank and drain W-N and by a silted fosse (Wth of top c. 4m; max. D 0.3m) elsewhere. An entrance is not identified.
