Oval grass-covered area (dims. 38m E-W; 31m N-S) defined by a shallow fosse (Wth 6m) which is visible in places as a change in vegetation (Wth 6-7m generally to 11m at N), with traces of a second fosse (Wth c. 5m) visible as lush vegetation separated from the inner fosse by a parched area (Wth 5m) E-S.
