What is recorded here
Situated on an E-facing slope of rising ground in an upland area with ringforts to the NW (TN026-016) and S (TN026-026,TN026-027). A slightly raised circular area (diam. approx. 23m) covered in dense scrub enclosed by a poorly preserved bank (Wth 2m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1m) reduced to a scarp at E and quarried in places. Dense cover of vegetation makes detailed examination impossible.
