What is recorded here

On a gentle SE-facing slope overlooking lower marshy land and a small stream to the E. This fairly well-preserved subcircular enclosure (68m N-S; 62m E-W) is defined by a substantial grassed-over stony bank and a wide deep external fosse. The bank is visible all round but is denuded at NE and overgrown with thorn trees and briars at E; it is best preserved at NW (Wth 2m; int. H 1.9m; ext. H 3m). The fosse (Wth 4m; D 1.8m) is also best preserved at NW, elsewhere field-clearance rubble and felled trees have been dumped in it and it is almost totally infilled in the S sector as a result. A trackway cuts across both enclosing elements at NNE. The interior is divided along a natural scarp line by a stony bank (Wth 1.2m; H 0.75m) running from NW to SE. There is a church (GA122-120002-) in the NNW sector and a small burial ground (GA122-120003-) in the SE sector. A holy well (GA122-121----) lies c. 90m to the ESE.
