In pasture, at the top of a low E-facing slope and at a bend in a road. A raised circular area (int. diam. 24.8m x 23.6m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.05m) and overgrown with bushes and trees. The bank is removed along the E arc where a silted-up external fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.2m) is evident. The interior is uneven.
