H 3-3.2m) separated by a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 7.4; Wth of base 2-3.6m; ext. D 0.3-0.5m) from an outer overgrown bank (Wth 4-5.2m; ext. H 0.4-0.6m) that is incorporated into a field bank, except E-SE. The entrance through the inner (Wth of base 1.2m) and outer (Wth c. 7m) banks with a causeway (Wth of top 2.8m; H 0.75m) is at S. There is an old quarry inside the perimeter at NW.
