Roughly circular area (diam. 60m N-S; 63m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2-2.4m crest, 4.3-5.6m base; H above int. 0.78-0.92m; H above ext. 1.95m - measurements in NE and SSE sectors respectively); U-shaped fosse on visible on S side (Wth 1.7m; D 0.86m). Bank has a rounded profile but has been denuded in places to form a flat-topped bank. Bank from NW-N-E-SE is overgrown in places with brambles. Trees growing on top of bank. Gap in E quadrant (Wth 3.3m) used as tractor access, probably the original entrance. There are tractor furrows across the interior and hay has been deposited on the opposite W bank. Gap (Wth 2.2m) broken through bank in S quadrant. Field boundary runs approx. E-W up to 5m from the E bank, then turns S along an N-S axis. Some young conifers (H 0.8m) have been planted on NE bank.
