Circular area (diam. 28m; max. ext. diam. 41m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2-3.5m; H 0.2m-1.8m) and an external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 1-1.3m). There is a counterscarp bank (max. Wth 3m; max. ext. H 1.2m) SE-W-NE. The entrance (Wth 2m) consists of gaps in both banks and a causeway across the fosse at the W; three other gaps in the inner bank appear to be modern.
