Located towards the top of the NE-facing slope of a drumlin. A triangular enclosure is depicted on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map on the SW side of a NW-SE farm lane, and it is depicted as a D-shaped enclosure on the 1907 edition. This is now a small triangular area (dims c. 15m x c. 15m) planted with trees.
