In low-lying level wet pasture. Ringfort (TS057-002----) visible c. 185m to the NW and an enclosure (TS057-003002-) visible c. 125m to the SE. Central roughly circular slightly raised area (diam. 12m) enclosed by an earthen scarp (Wth 4m; ext. H 0.25m) with a level circular area (Wth 4m) around its base. At the external edge of the level area is a narrow earthen bank (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.3m; Wth at top 0.4m; overall Wth 3.8m) with a distinct inner lip (Wth 2m; int. H 0.2m) and an external flat-bottomed water-logged fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.6m). There is no distinct entrance feature. A NE-SW orientated relic field drain links to the fosse at NW and an E-W orientated relic field drain links to the fosse at ESE. The interior is dry and clear of overgrowth.
