What is recorded here
On a SW-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 40m) enclosed by a much-denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.7m; H 0.65m max.) with a wide, shallow, external fosse (Wth 5.5m; D 0.6m). The fosse has been infilled for most of its circuit but its outline is still identifiable. A break (Wth 3.4m) in the bank at ESE with an accompanying causeway may mark the original entrance. A report in 1978 (SMR file) recorded a series of low earthen banks, of unknown significance, within the interior but these are no longer identifiable.
