Located on a slight SW-facing slope. What is probably a low grass-covered earthwork enclosure (diam. c. 40m) defined by a low bank is faintly visible on Google Earth (14/11/2019), and it is also visible as a feature in LiDAR coverage on the Open Topographic Viewer. It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillére.
