Remainder of E and S sides indistinct but seems to overlay N edge of circular enclosure (13675). Cropmark, possibly of bank, and trace of second outer fosse visible along N and part of E side. Field fence immediately outside fosse along W side; second field fence (roughly E-W) traverses N half of site.
