H 0.2m at E to 0.8m at W; ext. H 1.4-1.6m) and an outer fosse (Wth of top 5-6m; Wth of base 2.5m; ext. D 0.2m at E to 1m at W) that has eroded away E-SE, and traces of an outer counterscarp bank (Wth of base 3m; ext. H 0.3m) that is incorporated into a relict field bank WSW-NNE but absent E-SE. The original entrance (Wth of base 4.7m) and causeway (Wth of top 1.5m; H 0.5m) are at ENE.
