Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

In poorly drained pasture, on a low rise. A raised circular area (28m N-S) defined by a substantial earthen bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 2.5m) SE-NE, which is eroded in parts and by a scarp NE-SE. An external fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 1m) is evident SE-SW. A N-S field boundary lies immediately to W on the line of the fosse. The interior slopes gently down to E and there is a collapsed Man-made underground passage (SL034-067002-) in the centre. Mature trees grow on the rath.
