At the bottom of the NE-facing slope of a NW-SE ridge within pitfield (RO028-116004-). Rectangular grass-covered area (int. dims 17m E-W; 15.4m N-S) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2-3m; int. H 0.2-0.3m; ext. H 0.7m) on all sides except the S where it is attached to an E-W relict field bank of field system (RO028-116003-).
