In improved pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope. Circular area (dims. 22m N-S; 23m E-W) defined by remains of earthen bank (overall Wth 5.15m; Wth at top 0.75m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.1m) SE-SSE, S-WSW and a scarp (Wth 1.9m; H 0.7m) WSW-NE. Enclosing elements modified and straightened around E-arc, where incorporated into field boundary (long-axis N-S). Possible entrance (Wth 3.3m) at NW and gap (Wth 2.5m) at S. Fosse (basal Wth 1.2m; overall Wth 4.9m; Dth 0.15m) backfilled, but still traceable and best preserved around NE and SE arcs on return toward field boundary. Interior slopes gently downslope to SE.
