What is recorded here
Monument surveyed by ASI in 1979 and described as following; 'The roughly circular area is delimited by an earthen embankment quite defaced on all sides. The embankment and the interior are covered with a thick scrub making inspection very difficult. Outside this embankment but well within the overgrown area is a smaller low embankment. The embankment is gapped in places on the E and SSW. There is no trace of a fosse except in the NE sector and to a lesser extent in the S. No sign of an entrance. The interior slopes from NNE to SSW and there is also a slope from the limit of the inner embankment in a NE direction to the outer embankment. Located on a ridge'(SMR File 06/09/1979).
