What is recorded here
Situated just below the summit of a hill on SE facing slope with commanding views of the surrounding countryside. A circular area (approx. diam. 45m NW-SE) defined by a low earthen bank with traces of an internal and external fosse. The interior slopes from NW-SE, with a slight depression near the centre which may represent a house site (WM004-031001-). The site is overgrown with blackthorn. The presence of an internal fosse may suggest that his monument was a ritual or burial site rather than a ringfort. However the presence of an inner fosse is uncertain due to the overgrown nature of the monument.
