What is recorded here
Situated on the W face of a hill in grassland with good views to the S. Ringfort (WM011-066----) 170m to NW. Ringfort (WM011-067----) 180m to NNE. A sub-circular shaped area (approx. diam. 26m NW-SE) enclosed by a very poorly preserved earthen bank. This bank is only visible from SSE-S, and levelled down to a scarp elsewhere. The interior has general slope from ENE-WSW and has vague suggestions of cultivation ridges running ENE-WSW also. A tree plantation encroaches on the E side of the site. The site appears to have been levelled since last site inspection as there are no surface remains visible of this monument on Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011.
