H 0.2m) and traces of an outer fosse (Wth 4m) barely visible on S side only, bank is intersected by public road at E on a N-S axis which has resulted in the levelling of the bank at E. No entrance feature visible, few stones lie scattered around interior which may mark burials. No other features visible. On the 1840 ed.
