H 1.6m) forms the W side (L 23m), and a slightly curved earthen bank (Wth 4.6m; int. H 1.6m; ext. H 1.1m), outer fosse (Wth of top 2.3m; Wth of base 0.5m; ext. D 0.2m) and outer bank (Wth 1.3m; ext. H 0.3m) form the N side (L 17m) of an enclosure SW-W-NE, but the perimeter cannot be traced elsewhere.
