What is recorded here
In pasture, on low rise of ground in undulating countryside, ringfort (WM033-034----) located 210m to W. On the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map this enclosure is not depicted as an antiquity but is outlined as a small square-shaped enclosure or field. Almost square-shaped area (dims. 21m WNW-ESE; 21.6m NNE-SSW) defined by a slight earthen bank with traces of a slight external fosse. There are several gaps in the bank but no clear entrance feature visible. The bank is slightly higher at the corners than elsewhere. This monument could be a possible moated site due to its shape and higher corners, although its depiction on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map suggests that it may be a small post-1700 field.
