What is recorded here

Just off the crest of the NE-facing slope of al low NW-SE drumlin ridge. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 57m E-W; 55m N-S) defined by a stony earthen bank (Wth 3.2-3.6m; int. H 0.1-0.4m; ext. H 0.7-1.4m) W-N-E, which is incorporated into a road bank S-SW. There is a slight fosse (Wth of base 2.5m; D 0.2m) W-NW and there is an entrance (Wth 4m) at NW. Farm buildings impinge on the perimeter at SE, and two relict field banks run NE from the perimeter at N and NE, the one at N extending into the interior.
