What is recorded here
In pasture, on level ground. A roughly circular area (diam. at base 37m; at summit 28m N-S; 31.5m E-W) raised 3.1-4m above the surrounding ground level and enclosed at base by dry flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 5m; max. D 0.6m). An outer bank (Wth 6m; ext. H 0.7m) defines the edge of the fosse along the N arc. A ramped entrance is at the E side. There is a square depression (2m x 2m; D 0.9m) in the interior off-centre to NW and a Man-made underground passage (SL032-053002-) in the E half of the interior. A quarry cuts into the scarp along the SW arc.
