H 1.4m) is well preserved on S, W and N sides. Earthen bank (Wth 5.25m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 2.05m) defines N-half of level terrace to E, beyond which is natural sheer downslope. Outer fosse (basal Wth 0.75-1.0m; overall Wth 4.5-5.0m; D 0.8-1.75m) to S and W sides. Earthen bank forms terminus across outer fosse at E-end, S-side. Possible third outer bank (Wth 4.8m; int.
