What is recorded here

Situated on a low rising ground. Site covered in scrub and trees making detailed examination impossible. Present remains consist of a very high steep-sided flat-topped earthen mound (base diam. c. 46m; top diam. 18m) the base of which is enclosed by a fosse with traces of an external bank visible at E. The base of the mound is damaged by later walls and trenches which have been dug into the base of the earthwork. See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.
