Earthwork
Circular ring-bank, measuring 15.5 metres across north to south and 13.5 metres transversely, survives up to 0.55 metres high and encloses a central depression which is 0.35 metres deep. A footpath damages the west side of the bank. The spoil heap obviously overlies the ridge-and-furrow present on the slope.
