What is recorded here

Situated on a natural hillock with extensive views. A raised circular platform (diam. N-S 37m) defined by a scarp (H 1-3m) and a wide flat-bottomed water-logged fosse (Wth 4.5m; D 0.5-1.5m) with a stone-lined causewayed entrance (Wth 3.2m) at E. Evidence of mortared wall-footings protrude from the scarp on either side of the causewayed entrance and are possibly associated with entrance defences.
