Air photographs show a penannular enclosure, c.5m in diameter within a ditch c.1-2m in width, entrance c.2m wide in ESE. Ditch appears to thin in the SW sector towards the SE terminal. No trace of a bank. A number of linear and pit-like marks and two segments of possible pit circles may be seen in the vicinity.
