Oval area (26.6m N-S; 21.5m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 2.1m; Wth 1.8m); hedging runs along top edge of scarp. Scarp, best preserved SE->SW, lowers NE->SE (H 0.55m; Wth 4m). Interior, under rough pasture, has dip (Wth 1.8m) running across centre on rough E-W axis. Enclosure now used as a small paddock, accessed by two small wooden gates in hedge at NNW (Wth 2.5m) and SW (Wth 1.6m) respectively. ESB pole stands atop scarp at NNE.
