On flat E-W terrace on a N-facing slope of rising ground in upland area with good views from W through N to E and higher ground to S. In grassland with field boundary intersecting the enclosure at W on a N-S axis. Identified as a possible enclosure on an aerial photograph (GSI S. 601/2, 16-4-1974).
