Towards the bottom of a gentle S-facing slope. Circular overgrown area (diam. c. 35m) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.5m) separated by a fosse (Wth of base 2m; D 1.3m) from an outer bank (Wth 1m; ext. H 0.3m), with an entrance at ENE. A NW-SE field wall cuts through the perimeter at SW, and the foundations of an NE-SW field wall run through the interior.
