What is recorded here

In undulating pasture, on a low ridge. A circular area (int. diam. 18.5m) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1m). A possible entrance (Wth 3.5m) is at E. The interior is grass-covered. Three mature trees grow on bank. A linear cleft in the bank in the N arc may be the result of quarrying.
