What is recorded here
Situated on a gentle ESE-facing slope, c. 60m W of a small stream, in reclamed pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 20.1m) enclosed by two low banks of earth and stone with shallow intermediate fosse. The inner bank (Wth 0.2-0.8m) and the fosse (Wth. 3.1m) are present for the complete circuit. The outer bank (Wth c.3m; H 0.5m) has been levelled from N-WNW but its outline can still be traced from N-E. Large quantities of stone were used in the construction of both banks. Large facing stones have been applied to both the inner and outer faces of both banks. There is a blocked-up, stone-lined break (Wth. 1.8m) in the inner bank at SSW, probably marking the original entrance. The interior is quite waterlogged and is populated by reeds and other scrub.
