What is recorded here
On the N-facing slope of hill in undulating pasture. An oval area (diam. 32.2m N-S; 37.7m E-W) enclosed by a well-preserved bank (Wth 2.6m crest, 7m base; int. H 0.25-1.3m; ext. H 1.4-2.4m) and outer fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.35m). The outer fosse has a lot of bank slip making it appear quite narrow. There is an entrance (Wth 1.6-2m) downslope in the N quadrant. The bank has been somewhat denuded in the S and W quadrants by cattle. The bank reduces in internal height above the interior and increases above exterior on the NW downslope side.
