This is a grass and rush-covered subcircular area (dims 27.5m E-W; 23.2m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth of base 7.4-7.7m; int. H 0.2-0.5m; ext.

The original entrance is not detected but outside the scarp is a berm (Wth 1.4-1.7m) defined by a second scarp (Wth 1.2m; H 1.15-1.5m) suggestive of an outer bank N-SE. Field banks are attached to the inner scarp at N and SE, and a N-S road bank is just outside to the W.
