What is recorded here
Shown on the latest ed. (1913-17) of the OS 6-inch map as a raised circular area (est. diam. c. 40m) enclosed by an outer bank from NNW-ENE and from S-WNW (est. ext. diam. c. 70m NE-SW. In 1972, there was no visible trace of these features and the area was a flat-topped hill (SMR file). The site and surrounding ground, especially to the S, are visible as having been extensively quarried on a 2000 aerial photograph (OSi Orthophoto).
