Field fences abut bank to E and NW. Entrance on W side (Wth 1.7m) has dry-stone walling (H c. 0.5m) on S side. Immediately inside entrance, on S side, is slightly raised D-shaped area (4.5m x 2m; H c. 0.4m); this possibly remains of 'burial ground for children' indicated in this area on 1840 OS 6-inch map (LI038-127002-).
