It sits on relatively low lying level wet grassland with extensive views all around. A circular area approximately twenty metres in diameter is enclosed by a very low, poorly preserved earthen bank and a narrow shallow external fosse. The bank is reduced to a scarp in places, and a straight slight depression is visible extending east-northeast through west-southwest in the southeast quadrant.
