What is recorded here

On a low NE-SW pasture ridge surrounded by marshy ground. A slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 36m NW-SE; overall diam. c. 44m NW-SE) rises slightly towards the perimeter where very slight traces of an enclosing earthen bank survive (ext. H 0.6m), with a very shallow outer fosse (Wth 2m ; D 0.1m). There is a large gap in both bank and fosse at N.
