In rough pasture, near the base of a W-facing slope and on the SE side of a field boundary. A roughly circular area (int. diam. 15.9m x 18.8m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.55m), covered with overgrowth along the W arc. A field boundary has been built on top of the bank on the NW arc. The interior is level and overgrown with holly and brambles.
