What is recorded here

On a gentle W-facing slope in tillage, with a motte (KD004-017----) c. 40m to the N. The interior contains a possible church site (KD004-018002-), and incorporates the W limits of a later graveyard (KD004-018003-). A C-shaped area (dims. 47.5m N-S; traceable L 29 E-W), open to the E, is defined by a low, broad, inner earthen bank (Wth 5.1-5.5m; int. H 0.2-0.4m; ext. H 0.8m) and by a shallow, flat-bottomed, outer fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.4m), both of which are truncated by ploughing at S. (It's possible that this feature is part of an 'outer' bailey associated with the motte (KD004-017----) c. 25m to the N, however its orientation 'away' from the motte might suggest otherwise.)
