A raised circular area (41m N-S) defined by a curving hedgerow and road N-SE, by a scarp (H 1.2m) SE-NW and by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.4m) NW-N. The bank is poached by cattle. There is much rock outcrop in the interior including one upright piece (H 1.1m; Wth 1.7m; T 0.5m) in the W half.
