A large polygonal shaped area (dims. 72m N-S ; 48m E-W) enclosed by a low earth and stone bank (int. H 1m) best preserved at N with no evidence for an enclosing fosse or entrance feature. The interior has a gentle slope from N to S. There are traces of NE-SW cultivation ridges running through the interior.
