Indicated

In undulating pasture, on the E side of a low rise. A slightly raised circular area (diam. 29.5m) enclosed by an inner bank, an intervening fosse and a counterscarp bank. The inner bank (Wth 4.4m; int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.5m) is low internally all round and is levelled for a short section to W. Traces of internal stone revetment were noted. The fosse and counterscarp bank (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.75m; ext. H 0.2m) are evident SSW-N. An E-W field boundary at S obscures the line of the fosse. There is a narrow gap (Wth 1.4m) in the bank at SSE, partially lined with stones. The interior slopes down to E. There is a thick band of nettles inside the bank in the W half of the interior. There is a heap of stones (3m E-W; 1.5m N-S; H 0.4m) roughly in the centre of the N half of the interior and another similar heap (diam. 2m; H 0.2m) in the S half, to E of which is rough arc of stones (C 4m). The bank is ringed with hawthorn bushes.
