An oval shaped area (approx. diam. 48m NW-SE; 37m NE-SW) enclosed by two earthen banks and intervening fosse. The inner bank is substantial. The fosse is best preserved from SSW-SW-WSW, and filled in elsewhere. The low outer bank is visible only at W & N. There is a possible entrance gap (Wth 3.9m) at ESE, and another at NW (Wth 1.4m).
