What is recorded here

Situated on flat pasture in undulating countryside with limited views in all directions. Wheeler (OPW 1955) described the site as a circular ringfort (int. diam. 50m) enclosed by an earthen bank (H 1m) with no external fosse visible. The site was destroyed during a land reclamation scheme in the late 1950s. An aerial photograph (CUCAP, ATC 74) shows clear outline of a large circular ringfort. Not visible at ground level.
