The inner fosse (Wth of base 3.5-3.9m; ext. D 0.6-1m) is separated by a bank (Wth 3.5-4.8m; H 0.8-1.4m) from the middle fosse (Wth of base 3.9-4.7m). This fosse is separated by the middle bank (Wth 3.5-5m; H 0.8-1.2m) from the outer fosse (Wth of base 4-4.6m; ext. D 0.5-1.25m). The outer bank (at W: Wth 3.2m; ext. H 0.8m; at E: Wth 5.5m; ext.
