Situated on a slight rise, on a slight NNE-facing slope, in gently undulating, good pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 4.1m) enclosed by a broad scarp of earth (ext. H 0.2m). At the base of the scarp is a fosse (Wth 2.5m) and a broad external bank of earth (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.45m). A modern causeway (Wth 1.9m) crosses the fosse at W.
