On a shelf overlooking marshy land to the N. D-shaped or subrectangular grass-covered platform with lazy-beds (dims 33.5m ENE-WSW; 25m NNW-SSE) that has the straight side with some bushes at SE (L 30m) defined by a fosse (Wth of top 3.7-4m; Wth of base 1.5m; int. D 1.1-1.55m; ext. D 0.2-0.35m) E-W-NNE, but the perimeter is eroded at NE and it is crossed by a modern causeway (Wth 4.5m) at WSW.
