A slightly raised circular-shaped area (approx. diam. 34m NE-SW) enclosed by a poorly preserved earthen bank and a slight external fosse with possible entrance gap (Wth 2m) at SSE, now blocked with stones. The interior slopes slightly from SSE-NNW. Part of the SE quadrant of the interior has been scraped away by an earth moving machine.
