What is recorded here
Situated on a SW-facing slope of rising ground overlooking a stream to the S. A circular area (diam. 32m N-S) enclosed by a tree-lined earthen bank (Wth 2.5m; ext. H 1.3m) with a wide flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.7m). No entrance feature visible. The depiction on the OS 6-inch map along with the presence of trees on the bank suggest the use of this site as a tree-ring. It may originally have been a ringfort.
