What is recorded here

Situated on a knoll of rock outcrop in a low-lying landscape. It is indicated as an enclosure only on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. This is a grass-covered subcircular area (dims 26m N-S; 23m E-W) with some bushes defined by a straight NW-SE field bank at W and a scarp (H 0.5-0.8m) W-N, but by a natural slope down to the E and S elsewhere.
