Situated on a level landscape. The cropmark of a bivallate enclosure (int. diam. c. 40m; ext. diam. c. 60m) is visible on aerial photographs (MM (48) 19-23; ASIAP (10), 0-4) and on digital aerial photographs (WX041-058_1 to _4) taken in 2006. It is defined by two fosse features, but no entrance can be detected. A third fosse feature closely follows the innermost, between it and the outer feature.
