Located towards the bottom of the SE-facing slope of a drumlin. This is now a grass-covered D-shaped area (dims 45m N-S; c. 25m E-W) defined by the slight remains of an earthen bank (at W: Wth of base 4.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.6m) and an external fosse (at W: Wth of top 4.6m; Wth of base 2.5m; ext. D 0.9m) S-W-N. The monument is bisected by a N-S field bank and has been removed E of this feature.
