What is recorded here
Situated on a steep prominent hill in pasture-land with good views of surrounding countryside. Ringfort (WM007-058----) 50m to SE. A sub-circular shaped area (approx. dims. 48m N-S; 57m E-W) enclosed by a well preserved earthen bank (max. H 1.5m) and slight fosse, both of which have several small disturbance gaps. The interior slopes from ENE-WSW, and has traces of cultivation ridges running NW-SE. In the NE quadrant of the interior there is an oval round-topped mound (max. H 1.5m), which appears to be the remains of an OS trigonometrical station measuring the height 408ft as depicted on the 1911 ed. OS 6-inch map.
