What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise on a fairly level landscape with a W-E stream c. 60m to the S. This is a raised circular grass-covered area (diam. 41m E-W; 38m N-S; H 1-1.4m) defined by a scarp. The entrance may have been at SW where the scarp is slightly lower, but there is no evidence of a fosse.
