Situated on a steep SW-facing slope in gently undulating upland pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 21m) enclosed by a substantial flat-topped bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.85m; int. H 1.4m; ext. H 1.8m). At the external foot of the bank is a fosse (Wth 4.65m; D 1-1.6m). The bank is low, denuded and barely visible SSE-W. The fosse encloses the site N-SE and is absent elsewhere. A break (Wth 2m) in the bank at SSE marks the position of the original entrance. To compensate for the underlying slope, the interior is divided into two terraces by a SW facing scarp (H 1.4m) that links to the internal face of the bank at NNW and at ESE. A roughly circular relic quarry (diam. 6m; D 0.4m) is located on the ESE side of the interior against the inner side of the bank. A NE-SW orientated drystone field wall crosses the interior to NW of centre intersecting with the bank at WSW and at NE.
