Situated on a fairly level landscape. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (int. diam. c. 44m N-S; c. 42m E-W) defined by single fosse feature (max. Wth c. 3m) is visible on Google Earth (14/07/2018). There is an entrance gap (Wth c. 4m) at NE. The enclosure is also faintly visible on OSI images (2005), and it was first reported by Faith Bailey.
