What is recorded here

In pasture, on a W-facing slope. A roughly subcircular area (42.1m E-W; 38.7m N-S) defined by an earth and stone bank (int. H 0.65m; ext. H 1.25m) E-NNE and by a NW-SE field drain which truncates the NE sector. A fosse (D 0.1m) is traceable E-NNE. There is a possible causeway entrance (Wth 1.6m) at S. The field boundary immediately outside the field drain may incorporate some original bank material. There is a possible hut site (KE048-092001-) in the N sector.
