An intervening fosse (Wth 5.8-6.6m; D 1-1.15m) and an outer bank (Wth 4.2m; H 1.1m) are also evident. The fosse and outer bank have been levelled from ENE–E-ESE due to the construction of a modern N–S field boundary. The outer bank is also levelled from NNW–N–ENE. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 November 2011
