In pasture, near the top of a SE-facing slope. A circular steep-sided mound (diam. 15.6m) 2.1m high above the base of the fosse along the N arc and 1.85m high above it along the S arc, giving a stepped appearance. The base of the mound is enclosed all round by a fosse (Wth 5.2m) and along the S and W arcs by an external bank (Wth 3.9m; int. H 0.75m to base of fosse; ext. H 0.25m). The bank is incorporated into a field boundary along the N arc. The mound is overgrown with brambles.
