In pasture, on NW-facing slope. Roughly circular area (38m N-S; 40m E-W) enclosed by denuded earthen bank (int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.3m). Entrance at SE (Wth 8m). Interior slopes down to NW in sympathy with surrounding terrain. Interior surface is uneven, with numerous humps and hollows forming no discernible pattern. Field boundary just outside and concentric with enclosing bank S->W and NNE->SSE. From S->W farm track overlies denuded bank before veering off to W.
