What is recorded here

In pasture, at the top of a SW-facing slope. A circular area (26m E-W; c. 25m N-S) defined by a low earthen bank (Wth 5.9m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1m). There are breaks in the bank at N and S, either of which could be original entrances. A N-S field boundary tangentially abuts the bank externally along the E arc. The interior slopes down to the SW.
