What is recorded here
Deelish holds a broad earthen ring where limestone bones push through pasture soil. Its bank stands taller outside than inside, forming a shallow bowl that catches rain and shadows. People may have lived there before memory faded, but the stones never stopped holding their shape.
In pasture, on gentle SE-facing slope, in area of outcropping limestone. Circular area (28m N-S; 29.4m E-W) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank, with external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.65m) SSE->N. A dry-stone field wall runs along outer edge of fosse WSW->N. Bank (int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.8m), best preserved SE->N, lowers slightly along NE arc. Entrance (Wth 4.4m) at ESE. Fosse best preserved SSE->WSW where covered with nettles. Interior, covered with bracken, slopes down gently to SE.
