The external height of the bank measures 1.7m, the width of the bank at the base measures 4.7m, and the internal height rises to a maximum of 1.5m above the fosse. Access to the interior is gained by an entrance to the SE; the gap is 3.2m wide and has a causeway leading across the fosse, which measures 1.6m wide.
