What is recorded here
In pasture, on the top of a ridge. A raised circular area (31.7m N-S) enclosed by a collapsed drystone wall (Wth 2.3m; H 0.2m) with an intervening fosse and an outer earthen bank S-SE. The drystone wall is topped by a stone field boundary ENE-SW. The fosse (Wth 5.9m) is separated from the drystone wall by a narrow berm before dropping 1.1m to the base of the fosse. The outer bank (Wth 5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1m) is truncated at NE by a field boundary. There is a causeway across the fosse at NW. There is a Man-made underground passage (SL032-163002-) in the NW quadrant.
