What is recorded here
On a slight N facing slope in gently undulating countryside. Ringfort (WM033-022----) located 480m to W. Circular area (diam. 48.5m N-S; 48.3m E-W) defined by a low earth and stone bank mainly reduced to a scarp with traces of a shallow external fosse which has been mostly filled in. A large portion of the enclosing element of the monument has been levelled on E side where a modern field boundary running N-S intersects the enclosure. One of the gaps at SSW (Wth 1.8m) and W (Wth 1.4m) may be the original entrance feature. Possible standing stone (WM033-023001-) located in SW quadrant.
