Indicated

In the NE corner of a pasture field bordered on the N by a road, located on a rise. This monument is probably a ringfort. It is one of two conjoined circular embanked enclosures shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; the second enclosure (MA072-078002) is appended to its E side. By the time of the 1930 map edition, it is depicted as a subrectangular field plot (23m N−S; 24m E−W) defined by field boundaries which retain a slight curve at S−W; the eastern enclosure (MA072-078002) is not shown on 1930 edition. It is also recorded in an aerial photograph (GSI M686 -7 Roll 217, pr. 37; SMR file). The outline of the enclosure can no longer be discerned at ground level. The enclosing element at SE-NW has been levelled. The N edge is clipped by the field wall flanking the E−W road. At E a property wall, oriented roughly N−S, has a slight curve reflecting the original E arc of the enclosure, and it overlies the original junction with the eastern enclosure (MA072-078002-).
