What is recorded here
Situated on a rise, in pasture, with good views of the surrounding landscape. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as an oval-shaped earthwork. Monument described in 1973 as a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 39m) defined by a low scarp and traces of an external fosse. A field boundary running N-S crosses the monument at E. The earthwork is defined by a public road running ENE-WSW across the S sector. The interior has a gentle S-facing slope and the remains of old cultivation ridges running E-W. Monument described in 1979 as levelled and now defined by an irregular band of stony earth from SW-W-N-NE, which appears to represent the line of the perimeter. Monument is visible today as a subcircular-shaped cropmark on OSi aerial photography.
