Situated on a flat tract of land with streams to E, S and W and a drainage gully to N, in generally undulating terrain. A possible large enclosure (TN015-092002) lies c. 10m to the NE. Though levelled this enclosure (diam. 33m N-S; 35m E-W) is clearly defined by a raised circular area (H 0.25m) surrounded by a faint fosse (Wth 3-3.5m, D c. 0.25m) emphasised by a darker, lusher grass growth. There is some suggestion of an outer bank, particularly at E and S. The edge of the W sector has been truncated by a N-S field boundary, now replaced by an electric fence. According to local information the site was levelled c. 20 years ago and was bivallate.
