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. Compiled by: Mark Keegan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
