In poorly drained pastureland. This poorly preserved roughly circular grass-covered earthen mound (diam. 19.7m; H above fosse 2.25-3.15m), which is slightly stepped and rounded in profile, is encircled by a shallow fosse. A small circular stone foundation (diam. 1.5m) is evident on top of the mound and a solitary hawthorn tree is growing at NW.
