H 0.7-1.4m) W-N-E, which is incorporated into a road bank S-SW. There is a slight fosse (Wth of base 2.5m; D 0.2m) W-NW and there is an entrance (Wth 4m) at NW. Farm buildings impinge on the perimeter at SE, and two relict field banks run NE from the perimeter at N and NE, the one at N extending into the interior.
