What is recorded here

In rough pasture, at the base of the S side of a high ridge, c. 40m N of the Douglas River. A slightly raised circular area (diam. 20m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.1m) N-SSW and by a slight scarp elsewhere. The bank is broken in places exposing earth and some stone. A NNE-SSW field boundary crosses the W half of the interior separating the levelled W half from the upstanding E half. Indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as an embanked circular area while on the 1914 OS 6-inch map the W half is truncated by a field boundary.
