Background
Description
The earthwork is a square, aligned west–east, with sides of length 180 m enclosing an area of about 3.25 ha), with a bank of height up to 0.6 m and width about 3 m. Outside the bank is a ditch of width about 4 m and depth up to 1 m. There are three entrances around the rectangle, but it is not known if these are original. There was some excavation in 1909: some medieval pottery was found at the surface, but nothing was found that could clearly relate to its original construction.
