In the centre of the interior is a slightly raised circular platform (diam. 6m; H 0.4m) defined by a low bank or sod-covered stone foundations (Wth 0.4m). Extending from it to the inner edge of the fosse at W and N are two linear earthen banks (Wth 1m; H 0.4m; L c. 9m), that to N marked by a boulder at its S terminus.
