What is recorded here

Deelish holds a forty-metre earthen ring with a three-metre bank and shallow outer fosse. Its saucer-shaped interior contains a possible underground passage in the north-east quadrant, while trees now choke the ancient boundary. The structure remains a stark circular mark in rough grazing land, waiting for someone to notice the hidden depth beneath its grassy rim.
