Situated on a NW-facing slope of rising ground in an upland area. A sunken circular area (diam. 24m E-W) enclosed by two earth and stone banks with intervening fosse (Wth 2.5-4m; D 1.5m) and a possible entrance gap (Wth 2m) at W. A hollow depression in the NW sector of interior is the result of quarrying. The inner bank (Wth 1m; ext. H 1.3m) is the best preserved while the outer bank (Wth 2m; ext. H 1-1.5m) is destroyed by a modern road which intersects the bank from E to S.
