In low-lying gently undulating wet pasture. Circular slightly raised area (diam. 21m) defined by an earthen scarp (Wth 1.3-2.3m; H 0.2-0.45m). At the external base of the scarp is a fosse (Wth at base 2m; D 0.05m) an intermediate earthen bank (Wth at top 1.2-2.2m; overall Wth 3.9-7.7m; int. H 0.2-0.35m; ext. H 0.45m) and an external; fosse (overall Wth 3.3m; Wth at base 2m; D 0.15m). The scarped edge decreases slightly in height from W to E reflecting the ESE facing slope of the interior. There are two modern breaks in the intermediate bank at NE (Wth 4m) and at ENE (Wth 4.5m). The external edge of the external fosse is very faint to the S of a modern NW-SE orientated field boundary skirts external base of the intermediate bank SSE-SW. A break (Wth 5m) in the intermediate bank, with causeways across the fosses, at ESE marks the position of the original entrance. The interior slopes slightly facing ESE and is clear of overgrowth.
