In improved pasture, on a gentle SE-facing slope. Sub-rectangular area (dims 24m N-S; 25m E-W) defined by scarp (Wth 2.85-4.2m; H 1.4-2.75m) and external fosse (Wth 5.85-9.25m; D 0.25-1.6m). The scarp is best preserved to S, W and N-sides, being llower along the E-side. An entrance (Wth 6m) in the E-ESE appears to have been widened. The fosse is best preserved on S, W and N-sides and is narrowest and shallowest on the E side. There are ponds of water (diam. c. 10m) at SE and SW angles of the fosse. Interior has a gentle E-facing slope and has remains of cultivation furrows (long axis ESE-WNW). Large hole (dims. 1.5m NE-SW; 1.2m NW-SE) at S may be a collapsed animal burrow.
