What is recorded here

Situated at the crest of the S-facing slope of a low hill. This is an oval area (dims. c. 40m E W; c. 30m N S) defined by an earthen bank (at N: Wth c. 4m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.4m) with an external fosse (at N: Wth of base 2m; D 0.2 0.7m). Outside the fosse is a berm (at N: Wth 5m), a fosse (at N: Wth of top 4.7m; Wth of base 2m; int. D 0.7m) and an outer bank (Wth 4m; int. H 1.4m; ext. H 0.5m), all of which may be modern (SMR file). It was removed since 1987, but is visible as an enclosure defined by three fosse features on aerial photographs (MM (55) 30-6).
