Situated on a level landscape. The cropmark of a circular feature (diam. c. 30m) defined by a single fosse feature is visible faintly on aerial photographs (ASIAP (3) 18-20). It is also visible on digital aerial photographs (WX052-041_1 to _3) from July 2006. A crescent-shaped enclosure (dims c. 35m NE-SW; c. 15m NW-SE) or annexe defined by a fosse feature is attached to the SE.
