Field clearance stones dumped on bank and fosse. Bank broken to NNE (Wth 1m), SE (Wth 0.8m) and WSW (Wth 1.8m). Interior raised on N side to compensate for hillslope. Remains of cultivation ridges cross W half of interior; two ridges broken at centre by grass-covered mound (2m x 1.3m) partially composed of field clearance stones. Possible souterrain (CO041-178---) at centre, according to Bowman (1934, 541).
