Along the E arc the bank is incorporated into a NNW-SSE field boundary. A band of rushes (Wth 3m) may mark the line of a silted-up external fosse W-NW; the line of the fosse along the S arc is disturbed by recent drainage works. The interior is covered with rushes and there is a dense growth of gorse on the bank at SW.
