What is recorded here

On a S-facing slope in grassland. This subrectangular enclosure (45m WNW-ESE; 43.5m NNE-SSW), in fair condition, is defined by a bank of earth and stone. An external fosse, apparently modern, surrounds the monument from WSW through No E. A possible souterrain (GA098-080001-) is roughly centrally located in the interior.
