What is recorded here
Situated on N-facing slope of a low rise, in gently undulating pasture. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a large roughly circular-shaped earthwork. Monument described as a small oval-shaped area (dims. 34m N-S; 30m E-W) defined by a scarp and external fosse. The scarp is slight and the fosse is narrow and shallow, although is reasonably well defined to S, W and N. There is no trace of a fosse at E, which may have been infilled when an irregular shaped field boundary was constructed to E, since removed. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior has a slight N-facing slope with what appear to be natural humps and hollows. A wide shallow depression runs into the fosse at SSW. A field fence running roughly E-W is to the immediate N of the monument. Outline of levelled monument partially visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography.
