The internal diameter N-S measures 27m, while the external diameter measures 30m. The width of the bank at the base ranges from c 1.6m-3m. The external height of the bank measures c 1.5m while the height above the interior measures c l.8m. There are three breaks in the bank: one to the W c 2m wide, to the E c 4m wide, and SSW 8m wide.
