What is recorded here

In improved pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope. Pockets of native woodland W-NW and forestry and woodland to E. A circular area (diam. 22m) defined by a well-preserved, substantial stone wall (int. H 0.85m; ext. H 1.25m; Wth at top 1.7m; overall Wth 6.4m). There is evidence of stone facing along the interior of the wall top at E. An entrance gap (Wth 3m) is located at N. The interior has a gentle WSW-facing slope and the surface is uneven due to the presence of rock outcrop and loose stones. A portion of collapsed drystone wall (L 8m; Wth 2.5m) extends in a curvilinear fashion from the interior of the enclosing elements at SSW. The ground between this collapsed wall and the main enclosing elements appears sunken. The following images have been uploaded: CL035-096----_01.jpg From W. General view of monument.
