Located on a slight S-facing slope at the NW edge of the Univallate Henge (ME019-094----). This is the cropmark of an oblong area (dims 33m plus NNW-SSE; 15m ENE-WSW), which is rounded at the narrow ends and defined by a ditch (Wth 2.5m), but a NNE-SSW field bank truncates the enclosure at the N end. (Condit and Keegan 2018, 36-43, Figs 32-37)   Compiled by: Michael Moore
A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.
