In low-lying pasture, on E bank of stream. Roughly circular area (20.5m N-S; 17m E-W) defined by scarped edge NW->WSW and bounded by straight (H 0.5m) earth-and-stone bank bordering stream WSW->NW. Scarp (H 0.3m; Wth 2m) dips at SW for c. 3m. From ENE->ESE scarp grades to earthen bank (int. H 0.2m; ext.
