What is recorded here

On a gentle SW-facing tillage slope. Shown on the 1st ed. (1839) of the OS 6-inch map as a substantial rectangular enclosure (est. c. 55m N-S; c. 45m E-W) defined by a bank with an external fosse. According to Omurethi (1896, 193-4), it was levelled for top-dressing a holding c. 1890 during which, '… in the north-eastern corner of the rampart [the leveller] came across an unflagged chamber, full of black barley and ashes, of which he drew away twenty-seven cartloads, and used it as manure. To the astonishment of his neighbours no ill effects to him or his have resulted’. Visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP ASU 83 (1967) and BOC 60 (1973)) as the cropmark of a broad fosse enclosing a rectangular area. No visible surface trace survives.
