  Marked as a double-banked or double-moated rectangular enclosure (ext. dims. c. 70m NE-SW; c. 60m NW-SE) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is located at the bottom of a N-facing slope with a small S-N stream just to the W. This is a rectangular area (dims. c. 39m N-S; c. 34m E-W) set in a root crop and defined by the slight dip of a moat (Wth c. 7m) at S, W and N, with the remains of an outer bank (Wth c. 7m) at W.
