Situated on a slight E-facing slope in very gently undulating pasture. A circular enclosure (diam. 29m N-S; 32m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.93m), a wide, U-shaped fosse (Wth 4.9m; D 1.1m), an outer bank (Wth 2m; ext. H 1m) and an external fosse (Wth 3.1m; D 0.31m). Trees are growing in the interior and on the bank. The foundations of two stone buildings remain in the S sector - one (dims. 11.2m x 7.6m) is orientated NE-SW with rounded corners, the other, W of this (dims. 9.8m x 9.4m), abutts the inner face of the flattened bank.
