What is recorded here
In level pasture, immediately to S of a road. A slightly raised rectangular area (34m N-S; 25.5m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.2m), incorporated into a field boundary (Wth 1.5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.4m) on the N side. The bank is engulfed in overgrowth and field-clearance debris. There is a break (Wth 10m) in the bank at the N end of the E side. Traces of a depression outside the bank at W and S may indicate an external fosse. The interior is level. The NE, SE and SW corners appear rounded in an aerial photograph (ACAP, V227 54-5) but this could not be confirmed due to the overgrowth.
