Rectangular shaped area (dims 72m N-S; 63m E-W) enclosed by a slight bank which has been reduced to a scarp in most places and a wide flat bottomed fosse (Wth 3m: int. D 0.5m; ext. D 0.3m), both enclosing features are destroyed at W where the natural slope of the hill acts as a defensive feature. No apparent entrance feature was located.
