Large circular ditched enclosure with internal palisade, visible as a cropmark in barley. The entrance through the ditch is in the W quadrant, a possible entrance through the palisade lies to the S, the palisade slot appearing unbroken ken across the ditch entrance.

The internal palisaded enclosure is similar in character and dimensions to NH68NW 17, which lies close by.
