H 1.3m) W->NE, and defined by scarped edge (H 1.4m; Wth 1.7m) NE->W, with an external fosse (Wth 1.5m) WNW->ENE and SSE->SSW, and a counterscarp bank (int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.2m) along outer edge of fosse at NE. Presence of fosse ENE->SSE could not be determined due to overgrowth and dumping of organic debris. Scarp highest ENE->SSE but also where covered by dense overgrowth. Field boundaries abut scarp at ENE and SSE. Interior level and under pasture. Bushes and whitethorn trees grow along bank.
