What is recorded here
Visible on a series of aerial photographs taken in 1963 (CUCAP AHK 11), 1969 (CUCAP AYR 52) and 1970 (CUCAP BDU 45). An inner circular area (est. diam. c. 30m) partially encloses a later medieval parish church (KD011-002003-), and is defined by an arc of low scarp (H 0.4-0.6m) visible at ground level NW-NNE, and which is in turn enclosed by a second, much larger enclosure. This outer, sub-circular enclosure (diams. c. 112m N-S; c. 100m E-W) is defined by a broad, shallow fosse (av. Wth 12.4m; av. D 0.5m) ESE-SW, and elsewhere by a low scarp (H 0.3-1m), except from NW-NNW and from NE-ENE where there is no obvious visible surface trace of an enclosing element. The site may have originally been approached via a trackway (KD001-002002-) at the W.
