H 1.25m) with an intervening fosse (Wth 2.6m) and an outer earth and stone bank (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.75m). The entrance (Wth 1.6m) is at S with a causeway (Wth 4m) across the fosse. The interior is slightly concave and slopes down to N. There is a possible hut site (SL039-037002-) in the E half of the interior.
