Description
Located on the W shoulder of a drumlin. This is a grass and rush-covered oval area (dims 32m NW-SE; 27m NE-SW; int. dims 31m NW-SE; 22m NE-SW) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 4.5-6m; int. H 0.2-04m; ext. H 0.9-1.1m) which survives NE-S and SSW-NNW, but is reduced to a scarp (max. H 1.3m at NW) elsewhere. An outer berm (Wth 3m) NW-NE and a band of rushes (Wth 2m) E-SE represent the fosse, but the original entrance is not identified.
