Towards the bottom of a NE-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 67m NW-SE; 67m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (H 0.6m) N-E, a fosse (Wth of top 6.5m; int. D 0.6m; ext. D 0.3m) E-SE, and by a slight scarp (H 0.1m) S-W-N. There are traces of the fosse E-SE and the perimeter is truncated slightly by a NW-SE field bank at SW. There is no identifiable original entrance.
