What is recorded here
In gently undulating pasture. Roughly circular area (23.1m N-S; 27m E-W) defined by scarped edge, and bisected by field boundary on E-W axis. Another field boundary, shown on 1923 OS 6-inch map as abutting latter just E of centre on S side, has been removed. On N side of field boundary scarp is more pronounced (H 1m; Wth 2m) than on S side (H 0.6m; Wth 6m) where it has been partially levelled. Scarp is tree-lined on N side, but S side is free from overgrowth. On S side slight fosse evident (D c. 0.2m; Wth c. 4m) at base of scarp. Interior slopes down gently to S; on N side of boundary it is overgrown by trees but on S side is under pasture.
