What is recorded here
Situated on top of a low ridge, on poorly drained land. Concentric enclosure (WM005--014----) 470m to ENE, ringfort (WM005-016----) 225m to SW, ringfort (WM005-011----) 160m to W. A roughly D-shaped area (approx. int. diam. 24.5m N-S; 25m E-W) defined by a very low bank from SE-S-W-N, with traces of a slight fosse from ENE-E-S. There is a suggestion of an outer bank and vague traces of a second fosse outside this from SSW-W-N. The site has been intersected by post-1700 field boundaries at NE and SW. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped with straight side at NE where it formed a field boundary. There are hollow depressions the result of quarrying activity visible at ENE, N & NE. No sign of an entrance feature. The interior is level, with traces of post-1700 cultivation ridges roughly running NE-SW across the monument.
