Site Description

A roughly pentagonal inner enclosure, c.142m NE-SW by 70-112m, defined by a bank, ditch & counterscarp, having a SE-facing entrance, is set within a roughly concentric & similarily defined outer circuit, with an annex on the S; c.310m NE-SW by 263m overall.
The earthworks are complicated by the remnants of a relict golf-course.
