Towards the E end of a broad E-W ridge. Circular grass-covered but poached area (diam. c. 39m) defined by a gapped earthen bank with some bushes (Wth 4.6-6.5m; int. H 1-1.4m; ext. H 1.8-2.5m) and internal facing stones. There is a fosse (Wth of top 6-7.8m; Wth of base 3.2-5.4m; D 0.2-0.9m) surrounded by a field bank or field wall, with an overgrown laneway outside it NW-NE. The entrance (Wth 2.3m) is at ENE. Souterrain (RO015-017002-) is built into the bank at NNW.
