What is recorded here
On low poorly drained pasture in undulating countryside. A large circular area (diam. 85m NE-SW; 80m SE-NW) defined by a scarp (H 0.5m-1.7m) with slight traces of a bank (Wth 2.5m; ext. H 1.7m; int. H 0.3m) at the E only where a causewayed entrance (Wth 5.2m) is visible and an external fosse (Wth 3.5-5m; ext. D 0.5-1m) which is widened and deepened at the S where it acts as a field drain. The interior is very uneven, following the natural undulations of the hillock on which the monument is sited. The fosse and scarp are destroyed from NW to NNW where the fosse is filled in and the scarp has been removed.
