H 0.1-0.4m), which cannot be traced S-SW. This is surrounded by a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of base 4.2-4.8m) and a third outer overgrown bank (Wth 3.5-5,5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.7-0.9m) which survives SE-W-NW and can be traced as a low mound (Wth 5-6.2m; int. H 0.1-0.2m; ext. H 0.1-0.4m) at N and NE-SE.

H 0.4m at E to 1.2-1.4m generally) separated by a fosse (Wth of top 4m at E and W to 6m at N and S; ext. D 0.3-0.5m N-E to 1.2-1.4m S-W) from an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 3-4.8m; ext. H 0.5-0.7m). A second fosse (Wth of top 3-4m; Wth of base 2.4-2.9m; ext. D 0.4m) and a third overgrown bank (Wth 2-3m; ext. H 0.2-0.3m) survive WSW-NNE. There is no identifiable original entrance, although there are later entrances at N and S. A N-S field bank towards the perimeter at E incorporates the inner bank NE-SE, but has removed much of the outer features to the E, and an E-W field bank towards the perimeter at S similarly incorporates the inner bank SE-SW while removing the outermost bank SE-WSW (max. ext. diam. 62m N-S; 61m E-W).
