In pastureland. This fairly well-preserved moated site (24m NW-SE; 21.5m NE-SW) is defined by two earthen banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 4.8-5.2m; int. H 0.35-0.45m; ext. H 1.5m) is clearly visible along the SW and NW sides but the N end of the latter side has been quarried out; most of the NE side has been levelled and no trace of the SW side survives as another large quarry has been dug in this area. The fosse (Wth 0.7-1.1m; D 0.55-0.7m) is also best preserved along the SW and NW sides and the N end of the NE side. It has been quarried out on the SE side. The outer bank (Wth 4.15-5.05m; int. H 0.55-0.7m; ext. H 0.25m) survives along the NW side and the N end of the NE side; elsewhere it has been levelled or quarried out. A large area of the S sector of the interior has also been quarried out. (McCaffrey 1952, 115, no. 10b)
