What is recorded here
At the crest of a gentle NE-facing slope. This is a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims c. 42m E-W; 24m N-S) defined by an overgrown scarp (H 0.2m at NW to 0.9m at E) WNW-E. The perimeter is truncated by an E-W field wall at S, and the overgrown scarp is covered in field stones. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance, but there is a local tradition of its use as a children's burial ground (RO051-108002-).
