In pasture, on gentle SE-facing slope. Roughly circular area (49.2m N-S; 48.8m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.55m; ext. H 2.45m) SSE->E, with external fosse (D 0.3m; Wth 2.1m) N->ESE. Bank partially removed E->SSE creating scarped edge (H 1.75m; Wth 5.35m). Interior, under pasture, slopes gently down to SE. Mature trees grow along bank S->E. Site is contained within a small field; dry-stone boundary wall skirts around enclosure SSW->NW. Two ruinous dry-stone walls abut enclosing bank at NE and E creating small paddock area in NE corner of field.
