Situated on a slight W-facing slope with a N-S branch of the River Sow c. 240m to the W. This is a rectangular grass and scrub-covered area (dims. 51m E W; 42m N S) defined by moats that are best preserved at N (Wth 6.5m; D 0.7-0.8m) and S (Wth 8m; int. D1.4m; ext. D 1m). The moat is visible on the E side (Wth 6m; int. D 0.3m; ext. D 1.1m) but on the W side it is obscured by a N-S field bank and laneway. A leat enters the moats at the SE angle. Archaeological testing (07E0077) immediately to the W on a triangular site (dims. c. 70m N-S; c. 65m E-W) produced no related material (McLoughlin 2010), and testing (13E0216) c. 50-100mto eh NE-E had a similar result (McLoughlin 2013; excavations 2013:500).
