H 1.8m) is faced with stones internally. The outer bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 1.4m; ext. H 0.8m) is stone-faced in parts externally, incorporated into a field boundary along the S arc, levelled along the NE and E arcs with only a low rise remaining. The inner bank is quarried into for a length of 7m and 8m along NE and E arcs respectively. Some beech trees grow on the bank and in the interior.
