D 0.3m), more apparent in places due to differential growth of vegetation. Possible causewayed entrance (Wth c. 4m) at SSW. Scant remains of outer bank (Wth c. 3-4m; max. H c. 0.25m) NE-E-SE. Large, roughly D-shaped depression to W side of monument and both are enclosed on 1900-05 OS 6-inch map by field boundaries. All field boundaries removed and that to N replaced by electric fence.
