What is recorded here

No visible entrance, no central chamber, no distinguishing feature. It is a fort shaped like a living thing because it is one. The chamber is the woman, the doors are her wounds, the ramparts are her skin. What you are arguing about is her body. Stop measuring it and listen to what it is telling you.

In a wooded area, on a SE-facing slope, immediately S of a lane. A roughly circular area (c. 27m N-S; c. 27m E-W) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse and a possible outer fosse. The inner bank (Wth 5.1m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.5m) is covered with undergrowth. The intervening fosse (Wth 2.2m at base) is evident NNW-NE and S-NW where it is used as a path; the path breaches the outer bank at NE and NW. The outer bank (Wth 1.9m; ext. H 1.45m) is evident NW-WSW and a stone-built NE-SW field boundary truncates it at WNW. The outer bank along the N and W arcs is abutted externally by an E-W estate wall and by a NE-SW path, respectively. A possible outer fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.4m) is evident SSE-SW. There is a causeway entrance (Wth c. 3.5m) at E. The interior is raised and slopes down to the E. There is a small depression, beside a Scot's Pine tree, in the S half of the interior. A large depression outside the outer bank at NNE may be the result of quarrying. According to local information, there was a limekiln nearby.
