Located at the summit of a broad hill. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible on Google Earth (29/06/2018; 14/07/2019). A large pit (dims c. 30m N-S; c. 10m E-W) extends from the centre to the perimeter at N. Some ditches of a field system are adjacent, and a ring-ditch (ME0230-050002-) is c. 45m to the NNW. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
