Marked as a rectangular embanked enclosure (ext. dims. c. 30m N-S; c. 30m E-W) on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and as an oval embanked enclosure (ext. dims. c. 50m E-W; c. 40m N-S) on the 1927 ed. Situated at the crest of the E-facing slope of a hill. Subrectangular grass-covered area (dims. c. 24m N-S; c. 24m E-W) defined by the remains of a broadly spread bank (Wth 4m; H 0.2m) at N and S. There is no visible fosse or entrance. Archaeological testing (08E0221) by Agnieszka Pieczarka on a site immediately to the E on the other side of the road produced no related material (Tierney 2011).
