Marked as a rectangular embanked or moated enclosure (ext. dims c. 60m E-W; c. 40m N-S) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is located at the bottom of a N-facing slope with an E-W stream immediately to the N. This was described in 1987 (SMR file) as a rectangular grass-covered area (dims. 46m E–W; 36m N–S) defined by low earthen banks (Wth 8–9m; H 0.4m) with traces of an outer moat (Wth 7m) at S and field banks at W and N. The cropmark of a moat on the E side is also visible on Google Earth (18/07/2018) as reported first by Simon Dowling. (Barry 1977, 225, WX 97)
