H 2.1-2.8m) reduced to a scarp (H 1.5m) WNW-NNW, and an outer fosse (Wth of top 8.7m; Wth of base 5.5m; D 0.45-0.8m) WSW-NNW. The entrance (Wth 3.4m) is at SE. There is a quarry outside the bank N-ENE, and modern field banks radiate from the perimeter at ENE, SW and NW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
