What is recorded here
Situated on gently undulating grassland with poorly drained rushy land in the vicinity. Ringfort (WM010-005---) 120m to SE. Depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular shaped enclosure. Present remains consist of a slightly raised circular shaped area (diam. 26m N-S) enclosed by a poorly preserved bank and slight external fosse. The site has been partially levelled. The bank is visible only as a smooth scarp from N-E-SSW and the external fosse is visible from ENE-E-ESE only. The interior slopes from W-E and has traces of low broad cultivation ridges which run WNW-ESE. A possible standing stone (WM010-004001-) is visible in the S quadrant of the interior. Outline of levelled enclosure visible on Digital Globe aerial photograph taken November 2011.
