What is recorded here

On flat elevated pasture in upland area with good views in all directions. Heavily overgrown enclosure which has been used as a dumping site for field clearance debris. Small enclosure consists of a circular area (approx. int. diam. 16m SE-NW; ext diam. 23m SE-NW) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Top Wth 2.5m; base Wth 3m; ext. H 1m; int. H 1m) with modern gap (Wth 6m) in bank at SSE. Modern bungalow in adjoining field to NE of enclosure and boundary of house plot intersects enclosing bank at NE. Impossible to examine or classify monument more specifically due to amount of dumping material inside and around the bank of the monument which obscures all original features.
