What is recorded here

In pasture, at a junction of four field walls, located on a rise in undulating terrain with good views, most extensive to N–NE. Raised oval area (22.8m N–S; 28.5m E–W) defined N–E by a scarp with a broad external slope, and elsewhere by a vertical, partly stone-faced scarp which serves as a field boundary. The interior is level and grassy, with a slight slope down from E of centre to E. Sections of the scarp at ENE and NNW have been broken down by farm stock. The perimeter is ringed with thorn bushes, brambles and gorse. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 10 May 2022
