What is recorded here
Situated in gently undulating pasture on level ground immediately to the NE of an enclosure (SL011-004002-). Remains consist of a roughly D-shaped slightly raised area (18m E-W; 14m N-S) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 1.6m; int. H 0.2m). There is no visible trace of a fosse at ground level. From W-NW and from SSE-SSW the bank is absent and the defining element is a scarp (H 0.3m). The enclosing element is absent SSW-WSW. The original entrance to the enclosure appears to be via a gap (Wth 2.5m) between a pair of outshot banks at NNW. The remains of a rectangular hut site (SL011-004003-) lie in the SW quadrant of the interior.
