What is recorded here
In poorly drained grassland. A rectangular enclosure (N-S 42.2m, E-W 17.7m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is extant from E through S to W; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The outer bank survives from SE to SSE and from W to WNW. There is a causewayed entrance at E, and at NW quarrying has disturbed the monument. A CBG (GA086-068001-) lies within the interior.
