H 2.5-2.9m) separated by an outer fosse (Wth of base 1.5-2.7m; ext. D 0.6m at SW to 1.4m at NE) from an outer bank (at SW: Wth of base 4m; ext. H 0.5m) that was incorporated into a field bank (Wth of base 2.7m; int. H 1.4m; ext. H 0.5m) N-E. The entrance (Wth of base 1.5m) was at SE where the fosse was less pronounced.
