Situated on a break in a gentle S-facing slope, near the summit of a hillock, in pasture. A roughly circular bivallate site (diam. 24m N-S; 22.4m E-W) enclosed by a bank (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.28m; ext. H 0.92m), a U-shaped fosse (Wth 3.11m; D 0.8m) and a denuded outer bank (Wth 2.8-3.5m; ext. H 0.32m) with a causewayed entrance (Wth 3m) in the SE quadrant. There are old field boundaries adjacent to the site at W and NW and a farm roadway built at NE has damaged the inner bank. There is a roughly circular hollow (Wth c. 9m) in the interior in the SE quadrant.
