What is recorded here

In improved pasture. A circular area (dims. 27m NNW-SSE; 28m ENE-WSW) defined by scarp (Wth 3.2m; H 1.5m) from NE-SE and SSW-NW, which is particularly shallow (Wth 5.25m; D 1.1m) from NW-NE, and traces of a bank (Wth 5.4m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 1.55m) from SE-SSW. There is a possible entrance (Wth 3m) at the ESE. The interior has a gentle S-facing slope. A N-S field boundary runs W of the monument but does not interfer with it. There is a standing stone (TS059-058----) c. 90m to the SW and an enclosure (TS059-059----) c. 110m to the SSE.
