In pasture, on a S-facing slope. A circular area (diam. 40m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.2m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.25m) NW-SSE and by a scarp (H 2.2m) SSE-NW. There is a possible external fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.15m), with a small stream flowing along its base, W-N. The level interior is covered with overgrowth. There are cattle breaks in the bank along the N arc.
