An outer fosse and third bank are visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP: BDK 84-6) from the 1970s NW-E, being incorporated into a field bank SW-NW, but this feature does not survive.

The grass-covered foundations (Wth 1.5m; H 0.5m) of a rectangular house (RO032-023003-) (int. dims 4m x 3m) abut the inside of the inner bank at NE, and the interior is overlain by the remnants of a field system. There was a rectangular enclosure or annexe (RO032-023002-) (dims c. 30m N-S; c. 30m E-W) S of the middle bank defined at the E, S and W sides by an earthen bank and outer fosse (CUCAP: BDK 84-6), but this has been removed.
