What is recorded here

In pasture, on a N-facing slope. An oval area (c. 120m NW-SE; c. 79m NE-SW) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth 3-5.7m; int. H 1m) with an external fosse (Wth 5.5-8.3m; D 0.6-1.3m) along the SW, W and NW arcs and by a scarp (max. H 2.2m) elsewhere. An outer earthen bank (Wth 3m; max. ext. H 0.8m) survives along the NW edge of the fosse. The interior, which slopes down to N, is crossed by cultivation ridges. A triangular enclosure (SL032-193002-) abuts the inner face of the bank at SW.
