This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 35m NE-SW; 34m NW-SE) that slopes down slightly to the NE, which is defined by an earthen bank (at N: Wth of base 3m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1.45m; at E: Wth 5.6m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.8m) with some trees that is reduced t0 a scarp and hedge at W (Wth 3m; H 1.8m). There is no visible fosse and the original entrance is not identified.
