Situated on a steep E-facing slope, with a NW-SE stream c. 250m to the NE. This is a slightly raised oval area of rough pasture (dims. 44m N-S; 34m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5-4.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1-1.4m) NW-S, which is incorporated into a field bank elsewhere, and with an external fosse (Wth of top 5-6m; D 0.3m) E-S. There is no visible entrance.
