What is recorded here

Situated in rough pasture on top of a N-facing slope overlooking the River Dunneill to the NE and E. Slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 34m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 4.8m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.55m) with external fosse (Wth 2-3.6m) and second bank (Wth 4.6m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 1.2m). A gap (Wth 2-3m), largely obscured by overgrowth, at E may be the original entrance. At S the outer bank (W 2.7m) has a low berm (Wth 1.8m) internally, probably the result of erosion or relatively modern modification. From WNW-N the inner bank is modified and incorporated into a field boundary and the fosse and outer bank have been levelled due to the construction of a now-abandoned vernacular cottage.
