On a slight rise in a low-lying landscape. Circular grass and rush-covered area (diam. 41.5m N-S) defined by an earthen bank with some scrub (Wth 2.9-3.5m; int. H 0.2-0.4m; ext. H 0.5-1.2m) separated by a wet fosse (Wth of top 7-7.3m; Wth of base 2-4.1m; D 0.65m at S to 1.4m at W) from an outer bank (at W: Wth 5.5m; int. H 1.4m; ext. H 0.45m) which only survives SW-NNW. There is an entrance (Wth 3m) at N, and the outer edge of the fosse is truncated NNW-NE, by an E-W field boundary. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
