On the lower W-facing slope of a ridge. A slightly raised circular area (25.4m N-S; 23.7m E-W) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.3m) NW-SE and by a scarp (H 0.7m) elsewhere. An external flat-bottomed boggy fosse (Wth 4m; D 1m) is evident SW-E with a counterscarp bank (Wth 1.4m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 0.3m) NW-NNE. Recent wide entrances, with ramps from the exterior, are at W and NE. The fosse is truncated by field boundaries along the E and S perimeters.
