What is recorded here

In pasture, located on a low rise. Ground falls away gently to S towards an area of wettish ground fed by a spring. There is a farmstead immediately to SW. Slightly raised, roughly circular area (25.8m E−W; 23.6m N−S) defined by a scarp, which has been largely incorporated into later field boundaries. At NNW–E the scarp (ext. H 1.2m at N, 0.6m at E) retains a low internal rim; at ESE–SSW it has been modified with an external facing of stone to serve as a field fence, and at SW–NW it has been replaced by a linear boundary fence, on NNW–SSE axis, which delimits the W side of a now derelict farmyard. The NW quadrant of the interior is noticeably raised, defined by a slight scarp which curves N−W through the centre of the interior. This slightly elevated area marks the location of a possible Man-made underground passage (MA062-031001-). Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 25 November 2020
