Located on a coastal promontory cut off at the N end by a grass-covered earthen bank (Wth 11.5m; int. H 3m; ext. H 3.9m) and fosse (Wth of top 14m; Wth of base 5m; ext. D 3.2m), which are separated by a berm (Wth 8.5m) from a low outer bank (Wth 3.7m; ext. H 0.2m; int. H 0.8m). The interior (dims. 42m N-S; c. 10m E-W) is flat. There is an entrance (Wth 2m) through the inner bank with a slight causeway across the fosse. (Westropp 1906, 251-2; 1914-16, 204)
