Full Description
{2} The remains consist of the north part of a rectangular enclosure bounded by a degraded scarp only 0.25 to 1m high, with traces of an inner bank in places. There is a small gap in the north-east corner, partly blocked by another scarp which turns and runs eastward down the hillside. The interior is uneven and disturbed by what appear to be quarry pits, although a sunken rectangular feature in the north-west corner may be the site of a former building. On the east, a low bank, which extends down the hillside and which then returns south as a slight scarp, is perhaps an outer and later enclosure. Earthwork plan: Fig.81.
