What is recorded here
In level mature coniferous forestry. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 21m) enclosed by a broad bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.3; int. H 0.3m). At the external base of the bank is a fosse (Wth 2m). The fosse encloses the site NE-NNW and is visible as a very slight depression around the external base of the bank. A modern WNW-ESE orientated field drain has been cut along the line of the fosse NNW-NE. The original entrance is not recognisable. A hut site (SL008-025002-) is located to SW of centre in the interior.
