In pasture, on a S-facing slope. A circular area (31m E-W) defined by an overgrown bank (Wth 5.4m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 1.1m) of earth and stone. The interior slopes gently down to the S. There is a possible entrance (Wth 1m) at NW and a cattle break (Wth c. 1m) at SW. Field boundaries abut the bank at NE, SE and SW.
