Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Located at the S tip of a N-S drumlin ridge, with large quarry works c. 40m to the NW. This is a circular area (diam. 33.4m N-S; int. diam. 27m N-S), which was grass-covered with N-S cultivation ridges in 1967 but is now scrub-covered, defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 5-6.2m; int. H 0.2m at S to 1.3m at N; ext. H 2-2.4m) separated by a water-logged fosse (Wth of top 6-6.6m; Wth of base 2-2.4m; ext. D 1.4-1.9m) SE-W-NNE from an outer bank (Wth 1.6-3.2m; ext. H 0.4m) SE-W and NW-NNE, which is probably a field bank. The original entrance is not identified.
