A raised subcircular area (c. 53m ENE-WSW; c. 45m NNW-SSE) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.4m; H 0.2-0.4m), which has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded an intervening fosse and fragmentary traces of an outer bank, both of which have since been levelled.
