What is recorded here
On crest of flat-topped hill in cut corn field with grass, sheep grazing. Land gradually falls away on all sides. Roughly circular monument (diam. 69m N-S; 72m E-W) the enclosing element of which has been levelled. However, the N and E sides are still visible as gradual scarp (H 1m). The S and W sides have been incorporated into field boundaries. The N and E sides show up clearly as a cropmark on aerial photographs (ASIAP (29) 21-24, 3-8-99), which suggests there was a fosse enclosing the hilltop enclosure. The interior rises with the natural hill.
