What is recorded here
That is the name recorded for the place. The facts above contain no further detail about the story you asked me to tell.
On the E side of the highest point of a narrow flat-topped ridge between two small N-S valleys, in reclaimed grassland. There are very good views in all directions. The monument is heavily overgrown.
A roughly circular area (diam. 42m) enclosed by a flat-topped bank (int. H 1.8m; ext. H 3m; Wth at crest 2m; overall Wth 4.5m), external flat-bottomed steep-sided fosse (Wth 3m; D 2m) and counterscarp bank (ext. H 0.5m; Wth 1.5m). There is a causewayed entrance (Wth 3.5m) through both banks in the E quadrant.
