This is a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 32m ENE-WSW; c. 20m NNW-SSE) That slopes down steeply to the E (H 1.4m) and W (H 2.6m) of a central rib defined by an earthen bank (at ENE: Wth of base 4m; it. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.6m) ENE-SW that morphs into a steep scarp ((Wth 3.6m; H 2.3m) SW-W but the perimeter is truncated by a WNW-ESE field bank at N and no feature is visible N of this, although a curving field bank (Chord c. 45m N-S) may continue the line of the perimeter at W.
