What is recorded here
Situated on a slight natural rise surrounded by gently undulating grassland. A circular shaped area (approx. diam. 25m NW-SE) enclosed by a very poorly preserved earth and stone bank with possible entrance gap (Wth 3.1m) at S. An outer bank at E appears to be a later feature. A possible circular hut site (WM010-032001-) is visible in the W quadrant of the interior.
