In marshy flat ground, to SW of a stream. A slightly raised central area (c. 22m N-S; c. 29m E-W) defined by a dry flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 2.2m) SSE-NNE and by a scarp (H 0.5m) elsewhere. The external bank (Wth 6.6m; ext. H 1.45m; int. H 1m) is evident SSW-NNE. The E half of the interior is poached by cattle while the remainder is convex and raised c. 0.4m above the base of the fosse.
