What is recorded here
In undulating grassland. Well-preserved rectangular moated site (N-S 41m, E-W 30m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is present near SE corner; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse and outer bank are clearly visible. Quarrying has disturbed the N and E sides of the monument. Within the interior is a horseshoe-shaped depression (L c. 9m). (Claffey 1983, 156)
