H 1.55-1.75m), external fosse (Wth 7.75-9.5m; D 0.45-1.25m) and outer bank (Wth 4.7m; int. H 1.25m; ext. H 0.4m) visible from SW-WNW and possibly at SE, with occasional breaches. The inner bank is best defined from NE-SW. There is a causewayed entrance (Wth 4m) at the ESE and a gap (Wth 4m) at the SSW. There is a round limestone boulder (Wth 0.5m; T 0.5m; H 0.45m) on the exterior of the fosse at the NE. The interior is grass covered and has a gentle E-facing slope. A rectangular enclosure (TS059-128001-) is adjoins to the S and W.
