Towards the bottom of a N-facing slope. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 50m NNW-SSE; 42.2m ENE-WSW) defined by an earthen bank (at WSW: Wth 6m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.4m) SSW-NW and a scarp (at ENE: H 0.65m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance, and the perimeter is truncated slightly by an ENE-WSW field bank at S.
