Situated on a SE-facing slope. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims 48m NW-SE; 31m NE-SW) that slopes down to the SE (H 1.9m) defined by an earthen bank (at NW: Wth of base 4.6m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.3m) with some bushes W-N which is much reduced (at SE: Wth of base 7m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.8m) N-ESE, but it is absent SSE-W. There is no visible fosse and a road bank surrounds the perimeter ESE-S. The original entrance is not identified
