What is recorded here

Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) divided by a NE-SW field bank on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated towards the top of the S-facing slope of an E-W ridge. An arc (C 45m) of an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.6m) survives S-NW. There is no visible fosse, and the rest of the perimeter cannot be traced but the NE-SW field bank is still present. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
