What is recorded here

Situated on a knoll in a small basin. This is an overgrown D-shaped area (dims 34.5m N-S; 32.3m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.7m at N to 1.2m at W) SW-NE and by an intermittently visible earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.7m) NE-SE. The entrance (Wth 2.4m) is at E and the monument is truncated by an E-W field bank (L 17m) at S.
