H 1.5m) with a waterlogged external fosse (Wth at top 6.1m; D 2-2.5m). The bank is highest on the upslope along the N and W arcs and lowest (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.8m) on the downslope along the S arc. The fosse in shallow along the S arc. The interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. However, the interior retains a slope down to S.
