In pasture, on N-facing hill slope. Oval area (33m N-S; 40m E-W) defined by scarped edge, with external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.55m) SE->NW. Scarp (H 2.15m; Wth 11m), best preserved NE->SE, lowers at W (H 0.4m; Wth 6m). A slightly curved field boundary kinks around base of scarp NW->NE. Interior, under pasture, slopes down gently to E.
