What is recorded here
Situated on a SW-facing slope of rising ground with extensive views. A circular area (diam. 27m E-W) enclosed by a tree-lined bank (Wth 1.1m; ext. H 1.5m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 2.3m; D 0.4m) visible from SW through W to N. No entrance feature or likely location for such a feature visible. Probably the site of a tree-ring as depicted on the 1903 ed. OS 6-inch map.
