Situated on a slight rise, in rear garden of modern house. Crescentic raised area (dims. 26m E-W; 16m N-S) enclosed by a narrow bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.2m; int. H 0.4m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank has been removed NW-E and the site is defined by a scarp. From SE-WSW the site, originally circular, has been levelled and no surface trace is visible at ground level. The original entrance is not recognisable.
