What is recorded here

On a very gentle SSE-facing slope, in pasture, with rock outcrop close to the surface. A subcircular area (22m N-S; 20m E-W) defined by a low earthen bank (int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.2m; Wth at top 3.2m; Wth at base 7.45m) S-N-E which has been reduced to a scarp E-S. There is no evidence of an outer fosse. The interior slopes down to SSE with the prevalent slope and is dish shaped, except where defined by scarp. A single mature thorn tree is located on the bank at N and several on the bank S-SW. A lot of rock outcrop is noted on the exterior to S and in places within the interior. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-039----_01.jpg From NW. General view of monument.
