What is recorded here

Situated on a low hillock in undulating pasture. Raised circular area (31.5m E-W; 30m N-S) enclosed by a low bank (Wth 4.6m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.8m) of earth and stone. A break (Wth 2m) in the bank at N probably marks original entrance. There is a possible Man-made underground passage (SL016-013002-) within enclosed area. Compiled by: Patrick F.
