This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 23.5m E-W; 21m N-S) defined by a slight scarp (H 0.1-0.2m), and traces of a fosse (Wth 5m; D 0.1m) NE-SE. There is no visible entrance, but the interior is cut by the line of a closed N-S field drain (Wth 1.5m) towards the perimeter at W. Rath (LE014-013----) is c. 25m to the NW.
