On floor of small river valley, in low-lying pasture. Well-preserved moated site (max. dims. (from ext.) 51m NW-SE; 63m NE-SW) defined by inner bank (Wth 2.7-1.9m crest, 4.1m base; int. H 0.5-0.54m; H above fosse (1.32-1.57m); wide, flat-bottomed, water-logged fosse (Wth 4-3.3m) and outer bank (Wth 2.6m crest, 5.2m base; H above fosse 0.88-1.57m; ext. H 0.1-0.2m), measurements for SW and NE sides respectively. No clearly defined entrance feature. Interior heavily overgrown with scrub and is quite waterlogged and badly poached. Inner bank is well preserved while the outer bank is largely reduced to scarp. Leat indicated on 1st (1840) and 2nd (1901-05) ed. OS 6-inch map at S angle, the closest point to the river that flows NE-SW to SE of moated site. This has been partially piped but is still visible as a slight depression (Wth 2.4m; L c. 27m).
