H 0.25-0.55m; ext. H 1.55m generally to 2.25m at NNW) separated by a water-logged fosse (Wth of base 3.1m) from an overgrown outer bank (Wth 4m; H 1m). There is a rectangular enclosure (dims 9m x 7m) defined by earthen banks (Wth 0.8m; H 0.1m) in the interior at S. The original entrance is not identified.
