Its walls are spread to 3m and stand up to 0.7m high and there is occasional stone visible in its construction, especially in its NE arc, however the rest is generally broad and grass-covered. There is a possible entrance to 1080, where there is a small platform area directly outside. To the S and E is a grassy area, which is covered with several grass-covered clearance heaps, both in circular mouds and linear ridges. <1>
