Situated on a NW-facing slope in undulating terrain, in pasture. A roughly circular area (diam. 36.5m N-S) enclosed by a substantial earth and stone bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 2.45m), a wide, flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 1.1m) and a counterscarp which has been augmented by a field bank (Wth 1.7m; ext. H 0.35m). There is a gap (Wth c. 2m) in the SW quadrant with displaced stone collapsing from the bank on the S side and stone protruding from the base of the bank on the W side. Also at SW there is stone facing on the inner face of the counterscarp bank. A limekiln is built into the counterscarp at N and a large area of the interior has been quarried into as indicated on latest ed. (1952-3) OS 6-inch map.
