What is recorded here

On steeply sloping land between very steep uplands and slightly less steep valley side, partly in rolling grassland and partly in tillage. There are good views to the N-S-W, but the monument is overlooked by higher ground to the E. A roughly oval area (int. dims. 28m N-S; c. 21m E-W) enclosed by slight earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H c. 1m; ext. H at least 1.7m) and wide external fosse (Wth 3.5m; D c. 0.5m). Ramp entrance (Wth 3m) and causeway at SE. The interior is fairly flat but drops by c. 0.6m from E-W.
