What is recorded here
Situated on an E-facing slope in pastureland. A roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 20.5m N-S; 23m E-W) defined by a stony, earthen bank (Wth 1.5-2.2m; int. H 0.34m; ext. H 0.9). The interior slopes gently to the E. A large quarry at S cuts through the inner bank and part of the interior and there has been slight quarrying at N. A field wall abuts the site at SE and part of a stone wall almost abuts the NW quadrant. A field boundary respects the W section of the site.
