Towards the top of the W-facing slope of an E-W drumlin ridge. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 37m E-W; 29m N-S) defined by an earthen bank incorporated into a field bank NE-SE, and by a scarp (H 0.3-1.3m) SE-NW. There is no visible fosse or entrance. The site is truncated by an E-W road bank at N and overlain by a NNE-SSW field bank towards the perimeter at W and an E-W field bank towards the perimeter at S.
