What is recorded here
In rough pasture, on a gentle NW-facing slope overlooking the River Moy to NW. An oval area (32.6m NE-SW; 20.4m NW-SE) is defined by a low bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.55m) with an external fosse (Wth 1.7m; D 0.4m) NE-SE and elsewhere by a scarp (H 0.9m) with a low internal rim and a shallow external depression (D 0.2m). The W portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. The level interior is bisected NE of centre by a low sod-covered bank (Wth 1.2m; H 0.3m) on a NW-SE axis; on the NE side of this bank are traces of cultivation ridges. Five mature beech trees are close to or on the enclosing bank and a few hawthorn bushes and brambles are scattered around the perimeter.
