What is recorded here
Situated on SE facing slope of a gently rising hill in grassland, with good views to the W and NNE. A raised circular-shaped area (approx. diam. 37m NW-SE; 36m NE-SW) enclosed by a very low poorly preserved earthen bank and a slight external fosse. The bank has been reduced to little more than a scarp, and the fosse has been filled in from ENE-ESE. There is an entrance gap (Wth 2.1m) at ENE. Traces of cultivation ridges are visible running ENE-WSW across the interior, which slopes generally to the SE.
