In a boggy depression, on an upland terrace on the S-facing slopes of the Ox Mountains. A low kidney-shaped mound (11m NNE-SSW; 7.6m WNW-ESE; H 0.5m) of heat-shattered stones and dark soil, indented slightly at NW. Rushes grow immediately outside the indentation. There is a remnant of a field boundary immediately to E and a drain immediately to S.
