What is recorded here
Clear facts are missing. Anymap keeps its own records and may preserve more of the story.
In low-lying pasture, on gentle NE-facing slope. Circular area (23.2m N-S; 23.8m E-W) enclosed by two concentric earthen banks with intervening fosse (Wth 3.4m; D 0.35m). Inner bank (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.25m) becomes scarp-like NW->NE (H 1.4m; Wth 5.2m), but is barely evident NE->ESE. Outer bank (ext. H 0.15m) can be traced NE->NW. A low ridge runs out from external bank at ESE and extends NE for c. 62m before fading out. Fosse can only be traced where outer bank survives NE->NW. Interior, under pasture, slopes down to E. There is an ovoid depression in SE quadrant (D 0.65m; 4.7m N-S; 14m E-W).
