Situated in modern woodland plantation on top of natural rise with good views in all directions now obscured by the forest. A raised sub-circular area (approx. diam. 27m WNW-ESE) enclosed by two banks and an intervening fosse (approx. Wth 1.5m) with causewayed entrance (Wth 2.7m) at NE. The inner bank (ext. H 1.8m; int. H 0.3m) of earth and stone has evidence of stone revetment along the internal face while the outer bank (Wth 0.6m; ext. H 0.6m) has evidence of external stone facing. The outer bank has been removed on both sides of the entrance. The interior has a general slight slope rising towards the centre. An OPW report from 1966 suggested the possibility that this earthwork may have been the remains of a tree-ring of post 1700 date (OPW field report, 03/03/1966).
