This is a subrectangular grass-covered area (dims. 34m E–W; 31m N–S) defined by a badly eroded earthen bank (Wth 4–5m; H 0.3m) with slight traces of an outer fosse or moat (Wth 4m; D 0.3m), which is most visible at the E side. it is visible as a slight feature on the OSI series of aerial photographs (2005).
