Located on the crest towards the S end of a N-S drumlin ridge. This is an overgrown circular area (int. diam. c. 34m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 8-10m; int. H 1.2-1.5m; ext. H 2.5-3m) and an external fosse (Wth of top c. 5-7.5m; Wth of base 1.5-3m; ext. D 1-1.5m). There is an entrance at N, and an outer bank (Wth of base 3.6m; ext.
