Studfold Ring - outer bank

The map shows this earthwork as a circle, but the shape is more of a rectangle with rounded off corners [perhaps based on the design of the Austin Allegro steering wheel?]. Not a defensive site, due to the flat surroundings and a ditch inside the outer bank, but actually a medieval horse enclosure.
