What is recorded here
Situated on a slight SE-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Circular area (diam. 17.5m) enclosed by a wall of rubble limestone (Wth 2.1m; H 1.4m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The wall is best preserved SE-W where both the internal and external facing of larger stones are intact with a fill of small rubble between. From W-NNE the external side of the wall has collapsed outward. Both faces of the wall have collapsed NNE-SE leaving a stone bank (Wth 3.5m; H 1m) with the basal facing stones intact on the external side. The position of the original entrance is not recognisable.
