What is recorded here
Situated on top of an E-W ridge in undulating countryside. Circular area (diam 27m E-W; 25m N-S) enclosed by two earthen banks with intervening fosse (Wth 3m; ext. D 1m) with causeway entrance (Wth 3m) at NE. Inner bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.4m) is not as well preserved as the outer bank (Wth 2m; ext. H 1m) which has a sharper profile and appears to be of recent construction. It is also planted with trees and shrubs. The site appears to be a ringfort which has been reused as a tree ring by the addition of an outer bank which has been planted with trees.
