In rough pasture, on a W-facing slope, overlooking a river valley. A raised circular area (diam. 20m) defined by a low bank (Wth 4.55m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.8m) of earth and stone. The bank is best preserved SW-W. The E half of the level interior is obscured by trees and field-clearance rubble, the W half is in pasture.
