What is recorded here

On the crest of a slight NNW-SSE ridge. Circular, flat-topped, grass and scrub-covered platform (diam. of top 17.8m ENE-WSW; 17.3m NNW-SSE; diam. of base 25.8m NNW-SSE) defined by a scarp (H 2-2.5m), with a scrub-covered berm (at NNW: Wth 7m; H 0.85m) around the base SW-N-NE which is replaced by a quarry S-SW. The berm may represent an outer bank back-filled into an inner fosse. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
Embanked enclosure, likely dating to the Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age. Its significance lies in its association with ritual or defensive activities in a landscape rich with megalithic monuments.
