Fosse (Wth 8.1m; D 0.4m) SW-N and appears to be present yet covered in dense briars and nettles N-ESE. Fosse (Wth 5.2m; D 0.4m) is very deep E-ESE and is backfilled ESE-SE where scarp is low and represents a possible entrance (Wth 8m). Gap (Wth 6m) in scarp at N beside truncated bank. Interior is generally level and appears featureless. Enclosure (TS060-002----) is c. 3m to SE.
