On the SE. [South East] a small isolated mound some 5' in
height is cut off from the main hillock
by a trench some 28' in width and signs of
a similar trench are visible on the N. [North] with
a slight elevation beyond it. On the E. [East] the
ground falls sharply away - on the W. [West] it is
under cultivation.

Defensive Enclosure. (10)
At the upper end of a slight elevation some
