What is recorded here
In level grassland. Poorly preserved roughly D-shaped enclosure (E-W 87m; N-S 70m) defined by a stone-faced earthen bank. An external fosse is visible from SSE through S to W. A series of earth and stone banks radiate from the enclosing element and a number of similar banks lie within the interior. Abutting the monument at SE is a small circular annexe (diam. 20m). Quarrying has encroached upon the monument at NW. According to local information, 'Puntbaun' means a white (cattle) pound; apparently in spring, before the introduction of fertilizers, the field was covered with white daisies.
