Situated on top of a small rise, in gently undulating pasture, with extensive views to SSW. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular-shaped earthwork. Monument described in 1971 as a partially levelled roughly circular-shaped area (dims. 33m NNE-SSW31.5m ESE-WNW) enclosed by a bank (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 1.8m; Wth at top 0.6m; basal Wth 6.2m) from S-W-N-NNE. The bank is reduced to a low profile levelled scarp from NNE-E-S which appears to be slightly outside the original line of the perimeter. There is no visible trace of an external fosse. A large portion of the bank has been dug away at WNW where a field bank intersects the scarp. Another field bank intersects the scarp at N. The original entrance is not visible. The interior rises from the perimeter towards the centre and contains no obvious features.
See attached profile surveyed and drawn by the ASI.
