What is recorded here
Situated in gently undulating pasture on level ground. Oval-shaped raised area (26m E-W; 22m N-S) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank (Wth 4.4m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 2.9m), reduced to a scarp (ext. H 2.4m) at W-NW and NE-SE. At the outer foot of the bank is a fosse (Wth 4.45m; D 0.4m). A causeway (Wth 5m) across the fosse at NE marks the position of the original entrance. The fosse has been largely infilled on all sides by field clearance debris.
