Situated on top of a high hillock in grassland, with good views of surrounding undulating countryside.

The outer bank is low, and best preserved from S-NW and has been removed by a road at S and a field fence at NE. The interior slopes towards the E, and contains several humps and hollows, but do not form a recognisable pattern.
