What is recorded here

Situated on a ridge in pasture. Raised circular area (39.4m E-W; 38.8m N-S) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 2.9m at E, 4.1m at W; 0.7m at E, 0.4m at W; ext. H 1.1m at E, 2.3m at W) with a wide, deep external fosse (Wth. 6.6m). At the outer lip of the fosse is a field boundary which was probably fashioned from a pre-existing bank (Wth 1.9m at E, 5.6m at W; int. H 0.7m at E, 1.5m at W; ext. H 0.4m at E, 1.2m at W). There is evidence for a stone kerb at the inner face of the inner bank. There are two breaks in the inner bank, one (Wth 1.6m) at E, and another (Wth 2m) at S. Within the interior at N there is a possible Man-made underground passage (SL016-010002-). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
