This settlement measures some 43m from NE to SW by 33m transversely within the remains of a stone wall now reduced to a bank 3m in thickness and 0.5m in height. There are gaps in the wall, possibly original entrances, where a natural gully crosses the settlement. The level areas to either side of the gully contain traces of what may have been timber houses. The SW end of the settlement is overlain by a smaller, roughly triangular, enclosure, measuring 18.5m from NW to SE by 16m transversely within a stony bank spread to 2m in thickness. No features were visible in the interior and there was no trace of the chapel mentioned by Robson (Robson 1893).

(ROX92 104).
