At the E end of a low E-W ridge. Visible on an aerial photograph (DoD, 1999). A small, sub circular area (diams. 5.3m E-W; 5m N-S) is defined by a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 1-1.4m; D 0.15m), and a low, external, earthen bank (Wth 2.6-3.4m; int. H 0.2m; ext H 0.1m). There is a entrance gap (Wth 2.4m) in the bank, and a corresponding causeway (Wth 1.4m) across the fosse at WSW.
