In pasture, atop hill. Roughly circular area (32m E-W) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank (int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.95m). Bank incorporated into field boundary system SW->NNW; continuation of field boundary to NNW now removed. Break in bank at ESE (Wth 3.5m). Interior, overgrown with bushes, is strewn with loose stones; it rises towards centre where there is rock outcropping. Four low (max.
