Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 50m) on the 1837 and 1915 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated towards the bottom of a N-facing slope in a slight E-W valley. Described in 1972 as a circular area (diam. c. 40m) defined by a fosse (Wth of top c. 4m; D c. 0.3m) (SMR file). It is no longer visible at ground level in a scrub-covered area which remains unplanted in a coniferous forest.
