Situated on a S-facing slope, near the top of a ridge running E-W, in gently undulating pasture, with good views to E, S and W. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly oval-shaped earthwork. Monument described in 1979 as an subcircular-shaped area (dims. 39m E-W; 30m N-S) defined by a scarp and external fosse. The scarp is low and has been defaced in places from SE-S, W and NW. There are traces of a low drystone wall built against the scarp at E and S which seem to be the remains of a relatively modern field fence. The fosse is only preserved from N-NE where it is wide and from E-S where it is narrower. There are no signs of an original entrance. The interior is uneven and featureless. A modern field fence running N-S is outside the perimeter to W and a similar field fence running E-W is outside the perimeter at N. Short, disused field fences contact the scarp at NE, SW and NNW. House sites (WM030-096001-) are visible in the centre and in the SE quadrant. Monument is visible today as a tree-planted earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography.
