In undulating pasture, on top of a low knoll. A raised circular area (34m N-S; 34m E-W) defined by a low flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 1.8m) SE-E and by a scarp elsewhere. An external dry flat-bottomed, fosse (Wth 5m) and an outer flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 0.4m) are evident all round. The interior is crossed by the remains of cultivation ridges.
