What is recorded here

Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and as a D-shaped feature (dims c. 30m x c. 30m) on the 1927 ed. Situated in pasture on the crest of a NW-SE ridge, it is not visible at ground level in pasture. Test excavations (99E0190) immediately to the E failed to recover any evidence of an antiquity (Walsh 2000e).
