What is recorded here

Marked as an oval embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 50m E-W; c. 30m N-S) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, it is situated on a slight rise. This is a raised oval mound (dims. c. 50m NW- SE; c. 46m NE-SW) defined by a gentle scarp. It is overlain by a NE-SW field bank towards the perimeter at NW with the site of a bank on the NW side visible as differential growth in a cereal crop.
