An oval shaped area (approx. diam. 33m N-S; 37m E-W) enclosed by two earthen banks and wide shallow intervening fosse with a slight outer fosse. The outer bank and fosse are only visible from SW-S-SSE. There is an entrance gap (Wth 1.2m) in the inner bank at NW and a corresponding gap (Wth 1m) in the outer bank.
