On level ground in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised roughly circular area (dims. 14m E-W; 13m N-S) enclosed by a low broad bank of earth (Wth 6.2m; int. H 0.15m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank encloses the site on all sides and has a very uniform profile. There is no break in the bank to indicate the position of an entrance feature.
