Cropmarks on oblique aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 1989) reveal a roughly circular enclosure that is situated on the leading edge of a terrace, with the ground falling away to the S, W and NW. A broad ditch (about 3m to 4m across) encloses an area about 50m in diameter; the WNW arc of the ditch is obscured by an area of darker vegetation on the photograph. A gap about 11m wide on the E marks the position of the entrance. Within the E half of the interior a palisade trench describes an arc which lies roughly symmetrical to the ditch and defines an enclosure about 35m in diameter. The arc of the palisade trench runs across the gap in the broad ditch of the larger enclosure, indicating they represent two phases of occupation. Several squarish cropmarks of unknown function lie to the ENE of the enclosure.
