This enclosure is situated on a gentle NE-facing slope immediately ENE of the Old School. It measures about 83m in diameter within a spread grass-, heather- and moss-grown bank 4.5m in thickness and to 0.5m in height. Its perimeter is well-defined except on the NNW to E arc where the rough pasture gives way to waterlogged, peaty ground beyond a post-and-wire fence that crosses the site. The boundary of a rhomboidal enclosure immediately NNW of and associated with the school partly overlies its W arc. There is no clear trace of an entrance and the mound at its centre appears to be natural. An open drain crosses the site from SE to NW. There are extensive traces of lazy bedding to the S and W of the enclosure and there are faint indications that this may extend into its interior.
