On break of fairly steep N-facing slope, just off crest of ridge. In undulating pasture with the Brackford river flowing E-W at base of slope to N. Ringfort (TS077-066----) visible c. 400m to NW and trees impede view 650m NNW to a levelled enclosure (TS077-065----). Roughly circular area (diam. 32.4m N-S; 31.8m E-W) defined by a low bank upslope to S (Wth 2.5m crest, 5.2m base; int. H 0.63m; ext. H 0.35m), with some stone protruding from the gravelly clay surface, and by a sharp scarp (H 1.6m) to N. Scarp has a sharper profile as a result of cattle erosion. Scrub and brambles growing around parameter. Interior, which slopes slightly to N, is relatively clean and is grass covered. Gap (Wth 1.1m) in SW quadrant, narrowed by slippage from W bank. Also break in bank (Wth c. 1.5m) in SE quadrant. Deep entrance feature in E quadrant, badly overgrown, which appears to have been cut on either side.
