What is recorded here

In level pastureland. Classified by McCaffrey (1952, 238, no. 121) as an oval ‘Earthen fort’ (c. 30.5m E-W; c. 23.8m N-S) defined by a bank and external fosse. The interior and part of the bank at E were destroyed as a result of sand digging. The monument has since been cleared and, apart from a hollow which indicates its location, no visible surface trace survives.
