What is recorded here

In gently undulating farmland. Circular ringfort (diam. c. 45m), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is composed of earth while the outer bank is constructed mainly of stone. A field wall cuts through the monument at NW and SE. A gap in the inner bank at N appears to be modern. The landowner indicated that he blocked up the entrance to a possible souterrain (GA122-014001-) in SW quadrant of the interior.
