What is recorded here

Situated on a slight E-facing slope in a small clearing within a mature deciduous forest. The mound has been constructed in two tiers. The top tier consists of a circular flat-topped mound (diam. top 4m; diam. base 16m) enclosed by an earthen scarp (ext. H 0.7m). The second tier, at the base of the central mound, consists of a level terrace (Wth 2.5m) enclosed by a steep scarped edge (ext. H 2.2m; Total base diam of mound 20m). At the base of the second tier is a fosse (Wth 2.95m) and an external bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.8m). The mound has slumped down and the fosse and external bank are absent W-NNW.
