H 1.7m), outer moat (Wth of top 9m; Wth of base 6.7m; ext. D 1.5m) and outer bank (Wth 2m; ext. H 1.5m) at NE, an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.6m), outer moat (Wth of top 8m; Wth of base 6m; ext. D 0.8m) and outer bank (Wth 2m; ext. H 0.5m) at SE, and an abandoned laneway (Wth 3.5-4m) on the SW and NW sides. The moat at NE has had drains cut at either side leaving a raised area in the centre.
