What is recorded here

Encompassing the top of a suboval hillock in rough pasture, in an area of undulating land with limestone outcrops within a field system (CL008-057001-). This suboval enclosure (42m NW-SE; 24m NE-SW) is defined by a collapsed double-faced stone wall (Wth 2.2-2.45m) which follows the top of the hillock's natural scarp. The outer wall-face (max. H 1m) survives to one/two courses all around, while the inner wall-face is most clearly visible at SE-S but only intermittently elsewhere. A grass-covered wall runs NE-SW across the N centre of the gently SE-sloping interior. The grassed-over remains of three houses of indeterminate date (CL008-057010-, CL008-057011- and CL008-057012-) lie in the S half.
