What is recorded here
On a slight S-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Circular raised area (diam. 18m) enclosed by a broad earthen scarp (Wth 4m; ext. H 1.4-1.65m) with an external broad flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.2m). Modern NNE-WSW orientated field bank lies along the outer edge of the fosse at W. An irregular ramp (Wth 8m) across the scarped edge with a sloping causeway across the fosse at SSE marks the position of the original entrance that has been widened in modern times. Interior slopes slightly facing SSE toward the entrance and is dry and clear of overgrowth.
