What is recorded here

In level pasture, with views SW to Mangerton Mountain. A roughly circular area (c. 12m E-W; c. 10m N-S) enclosed by a low earthen bank (Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.3m). Faint traces of an internal fosse are evident ENE-SW. Boulders and smaller stones clutter the S half of the interior and its enclosing bank. Trees and undergrowth partially obscure the ring-barrow.
