On a hillock in otherwise low-lying pasture. A slightly raised circular area (diam. 40.2m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone, which has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary from SSE-S-NNW. Elsewhere it has been levelled. There is no trace of a fosse. The original entrance is not recognisable.
