Located on the NE-facing slope of a hill in pasture with a nearby ringfort (TN027-109) visible to the E. A roughly circular area (diam. 43.6m N-S; 42.2m E-W) enclosed by a bank (Wth 3.1m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1m), a fosse (Wth 4.8m; D 0.73m) and an outer bank (Wth 1.4m; ext. H 0.5m) with a causewayed entrance (Wth 3.5m) in the S sector used by cattle and tractor. A field boundary, which augments the outer bank, extends along the edge of the fosse at S. Some rushes growing in the interior indicate that the site gets waterlogged and there is a suggestion of ridge and furrow in the S portion. A silage heap near the W edge of the site has been fenced off with post and wire fencing.
