What is recorded here
On a NNE-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 37.1m) enclosed by a very wide, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 8.15m; H 0.2-1.1m) with a wide, deep, external fosse (Wth 5.3m; D 0.9m). From N-NE-ENE, where it is bordered by a modern WNW-ESE field boundary, the outer face of the bank has been steepened and the fosse is largely infilled. A break (Wth 3.45m) in the bank at ESE with an accompanying causeway may mark the original entrance.
