These banks were curvilinear and formed a roughly trapezoidal enclosure, orientated NMW-SSE with the E and W sides significantly longer than the N and S. At maximum dimensions the feature was 86 x 45m. To the W were two banks which formed a C-shaped enclosure with the open end to the E. To the NE were three banks which appeared to be associated, though were of unknown function. The features were not visible on Next Perspectives photography taken in 2003 [2].
