In pasture, on a gentle W-facing slope. The monument, depicted as an embanked circular enclosure on 1928 OS map, has been levelled but is still apparent as a circular area (22m N-S; 24m E-W) defined by remains of levelled bank reduced to a scarp (Wth 3m; H 0.4m) that is reduced lower SW-N. Trace of fosse (total Wth 6.95m; basal Wth 1.25m; D 0.15) at E-N. Interior slopes down to W and levels off at W-side.
