In a slight E-W valley. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 33m E-W; 27.5m N-S) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 3.7-4.6m; int. H 0.2-0.5m; ext. H 1.5-2m) NW-E-S, which is reduced to a scarp (H 2m) elsewhere, and a fosse (Wth of top 6-7m; Wth of base 2.5-3.5m; D 0.2-0.8m) NE-S and SW-NW. The entrance (Wth 1.6m) is at S, and a field bank circumscribes the perimeter NW-NE. Barrow (RO022-080----) is c. 180m to the NE.
