Situated on a slight E-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised, roughly circular area (dims. 30m N-S; 28m E-W) enclosed by bank of earth and stones of varying sizes (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.5m). From E-SW the bank has been removed and the defining element is a scarp (ext. H 0.2m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The original entrance is not recognisable. Extending into the interior from the inner face of the bank at NE is a bank of earth and stone (L 12m; Wth at base 2.3m Wth at top 1m; H 0.3m).
