The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a fragment of a bank (C c. 60m S-N) only on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated towards the top of the gentle SW-facing slope of a short NW-SE ridge. An earthen bank (Wth 6.5m; int. H 0.45-0.9m; ext. H 2-2.2m) and hedge with an outer fosse (Wth of base 2.7m; D 0.4m) form a chord (C c. 43m) S-W-N, but the rest of the perimeter does not survive.
