What is recorded here

In pasture, on a SE-facing slope, to the S of a road. A roughly circular area (diam. 108m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.7m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.4m). There is a break in the bank at NW. A possible fosse was noted along the NNE and NW arcs. Both of these areas are overgrown and difficult to inspect. The surface of the interior is heavily poached by cattle. A road interrupts the bank along the NNW arc. A stream skirts the bank externally NNE-SSW. A possible hut site (KE058-004001-) is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map abutting the internal E arc of this enclosure.
