A sub-circular shaped area (approx. diam. 34m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a poorly preserved earthen bank and a narrow shallow steep external fosse. The S and E portion of the site has been impacted by quarrying. The interior rises towards the centre where large sub-rectangular house site (WM012-066001-) is visible.
