In pasture, atop hill. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map; as hachured raised area surrounded by fosse on 1904 and 1936 OS 6-inch maps. According to local information, levelled c. 1985; formerly enclosed by bank and external fosse and covered in furze bushes. Fosse visible as band of grass, darker in colour than interior and surrounding field. Circular enclosure clearly visible in aerial photograph (GSIAP, R613) as cropmark of bank, with faint trace of second bank visible W->S. Possible ringfort (CO001-012---) in adjoining field.
