H 1.55m) which is reduced to a scarp (Wth 4m; H 1.5m) at W-NW. Bank/scarp appears linear along W-side and is badly eroded by cattle on exterior all around. Causewayed entrance (Wth 4.3m) at E. External fosse (Wth 8.15m; D 0.6m) visible NW-WSW. Large depression in fosse at ENE may indicate quarrying activities. Interior in pasture and tends downslope to E.
