Situated on a slight SE-facing slope with a small NW-SE stream c. 50m to the NE. This is a slightly raised wedge-shaped overgrown area (dims. 37-43m N-S; 29-35m E-W) with raised corners. It is defined by earthen banks (Wth 3-4m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.5m) and a flat-bottomed fosse or moat (Wth 3m; ext. D 0.3m). An outer bank has been removed since the 1940s (SMR file) but slight traces of the moat are still visible at the W. (Barry 1977, 219)
