What is recorded here

In gently undulating pastureland. Described by Cody (1989, 294-5, no. 119) as an embanked rectangular enclosure (28m N-S; 21m E-W) built on a low rectangular platform (42m N-S; 35m E-W). Trace of a later field wall were evident along most of the E side of the platform and intermittent heaps of stone suggested that it formerly ran all round it. Possibly a ringfort or a moated site, or perhaps an even later settlement site. A ringfort (GA084-011----) lies c. 100m to the NW.
