What is recorded here
On a gentle SE-facing slope off crest of hill, in undulating terrain. The NW portion, which has been levelled and is no longer visible above ground, is under tillage. The SE portion is in pasture. A ringfort (TS082-070----) is situated c. 250m to the NW. Just over half the monument survives above ground, it is heavily overgrown with nettles with dead wood beneath while the banks are virtually inaccessible due to scrub, brambles and nettles. It is depicted as being a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 36m; N-S; c. 38m E-W) on the 1904-05 ed. OS 6-inch map. The bank is largely reduced to scarp (Wth 1.2m; int. H 0.26m; ext. H 1.07m) with a steep drop to exterior. There appear to be at least two breaks in bank in the SE quadrant. Field boundaries N and NW of the ringfort have been removed.
