What is recorded here
Straddling a low, narrow E-W ridge in pasture. This circular area (diam. c. 38m) is carved out of the ridge and is defined by an irregular scarp (H 0.5-2m). At the base of the scarp at ESE are traces of a shallow external fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.15m). The original entrance is not recognisable. Large boulders protrude from the ground in the E half of the interior.
