Full Description
Remains of possible settlement, consisting of an enclosure defined by a ditch with outer bank enclosing an area measuring 72 m north-west to southeast by 60 m transversely. On the east the ditch cuts across a broad neck of land and in the north and west cuts into shoulder of the ridge. On the south it is scarcely discernible, where ditch has silted up. A 15 m wide gap in the north appears original. The interior is featureless. The ditch is 5 m wide by 1.2 m deep, the bank 5 m wide by 0.8 m high.
