Situated on a slight rise in a low-lying landscape. The parch-mark of a subcircular enclosure (dims c. 33m N-S; c. 27m E-W) defined by a single fosse feature is only visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018). There could be breaks in the fosse at WSW (Wth c. 3m), NW (Wth c. 7m) and N (Wth c. 2m). It was first reported by Jean Charles Caillere.
