In pasture, on a SW-facing slope. A circular area (c. 20m N-S) defined by a low bank (Wth 7.8m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.65m) NNE-N, with a break N-NNE. The bank is comprised mainly of earth with some shale which is exposed at N. A slight trace of an external fosse is evident along the N arc. A dump of shale was noted in the interior.
