Located at the bottom of a W-facing slope. The cropmark of a bivallate circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 55m; max. ext. diam. c. 80m) defined by a wide inner (Wth c. 5m) and narrower outer fosse feature is visible on aerial photographs (MM (2) 1–7; (52) 13, 14). Enclosure (WX015-016----) is immediately to the N and (WX015-016----) may have served this monument as an annexe. It is visible as a single fosse on Google Earth (14/07/2018).
