What is recorded here

Situated on a slight SE-facing slope in pasture. The SW one-third of the site now lies under a modern NW-SE orientated public roadway. Raised roughly D-shaped area (20 NW-SE; 15m NE-SW) enclosed by a bank of earth (Wth 5.6m; int. H 0.4m). No fosse is visible at ground level. The original bank encloses the site NW-SSE. A small roughly circular quarry (diam 4m; D 0.4m) has removed the bank at SSE-S. From S-NW the present edge of the site is defined by a modern bank of earth and stone (Wth 4m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.5m) derived from the construction of the roadway. The original entrance to the site is not recognisable. Compiled by: Mark Keegan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
