On a gentle S-facing slope in pastureland. Very poorly preserved roughly oval enclosure (c. 43m E-W; c. 30m N-S) defined by an irregular scarp. A road cuts across the monument from N to SW and another road cuts it from SW to SE. A number of low banks of earth and stone lie within E half of the interior.
