What is recorded here

Situated on the tip of a short SE-NW spur. In 1968 this was described (SMR file) as a circular grass and rush-covered area (diam. 35.4m N-S; 35.3m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth of base 4m at N to 8m at S; int. H 0.6-0.9m; ext. H 1.1-1.4) and an outer fosse (at N: Wth of top 5m; Wth of base 1.6m; ext. D 0.4m), with a slight outer bank (Wth of base 5.8m; ext. H 0.1m) NNW-NE. The original entrance (Wth of base 1.1m) is at SE.
