The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated at the crest of the S-facing slope of a drumlin. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 63m E-W; 62m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.7-1.1m), with a fosse (Wth of top 4.2m; int. D 1m; ext. D 0.5m) SW-NW. There is no visible entrance, but the interior is overlain by a NNW-SSE field bank and ditch W of the centre, which is one boundary of a road marked on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map.
