A moated enclosure in fair condition; no internal remains. Published survey 1/2500 revised. (2)
A small moated enclosure, the platform measuring about 25-30m square. It is surrounded by a wide shallow ditch, the material from it placed mainly in four separate counterscarp banks and partly in slight 40cm high banks around the edge of the platform. The interior is hummocky, but it is not possible to identify individual buildings. Aerial photographs suggest the presence of a building adjacent to the west side of the platform. There is a causeway across the ditch at the north east angle. (3)
