It is defined by an earthen bank (at NW: Wth 3m; int. H 1.3m; ext. H 1.2m) and hedge S-W-NE but the perimeter is reduced to a scarp (at SE: H 1.45m) and hedge elsewhere, and traces of an outer fosse.

Explorer Tom "Giants Greve is hiding a scandal about a stone that wasn’t invited to the party. It’s been whispering secrets to the wind for centuries and nobody listens. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look."
