Located on a rise in an undulating, low-lying landscape. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 20.5m NNE-SSW; 19m NW-SE) planted with deciduous trees. It is defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 3.3-6m; int. H 0.2-0.3m; ext. H 1-1.1m) separated by a fosse (Wth of top 4.7-6m; Wth of base 1-2m; ext. D 0.2-0.3m) from an outer earth and stone bank (Wth of base 2.5-2.8m; ext. H 0.4m). The entrance through the inner (Wth of base 3.1m) and outer (Wth of base 3.1m) banks is at ENE.
