What is recorded here
Situated on a slight rise, in low-lying, undulating pasture, with good views to SSE and overlooked by a ridge to NE. Monument described as a much disturbed subcircular-shaped area (approx. dims. 30m NW-SE) enclosed by an earthen bank and external fosse with no clear entrance feature visible. The earthen bank is substantial and visible from SW-W-N and is reduced to a low, steep scarp from SSE-S-SW with vague traces of an external fosse. The perimeter and a portion of the interior have been levelled out from N-E-S-SSE. The interior is much disturbed by cultivation ridges and trenches. A modern earth and stone field bank running NNE-SSW extends across the W quadrant of the monument. There is a gap in the scarp on either side of this field bank at SW. A modern wall running NW-SE extends across the perimeter of the monument at NE. There are old field banks and depressions to S and W of the monument.
