Situated in a gently undulating low-lying landscape. The cropmark of a D-shaped area (dims c. 30m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) defined by a fosse with straighter edges at NW and SW is visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018). The perimeter at S is slightly truncated by a WNW-ESE field bank. It was first reported by Simon Dowling.
