What is recorded here
Situated on a natural hillock in gently undulating pasture-land with good views in all directions. Ringfort (WM008-019----) 200m to SE. This site has been almost completely levelled, now visible only as a band of vegetation (Wth 4m). Depicted as a sub-rectangular shaped area (approx. diam. 42m N-S; 46m E-W) on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map. The interior has vague traces of two rectangular hut sites (WM008-016001-/016002-). Cultivation ridges aligned NNW-SSE run across the interior of the monument. A gap (Wth 4.5m) in the band of vegetation at WNW may represent an entrance. This site is clearly visible as a cropmark on Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011.
