What is recorded here

On a slight hillock on the S side of the Nuenna river valley, at its junction with the valley floor, surrounded by grass and tillage. There are fair views along and across the valley. A sub-rectangular area (int. dims. 44m N-W; 37m E-W) enclosed by a massive bank (overall Wth 10m; Wth at crest 2m; int. H c. 1.5m; ext. H 2.3m) and a wide, flat-bottomed external fosse (Wth 4m; D 1.3m) on S and W. The bank and fosse only survive as traces at E and as scarp at N. There is a modern tractor ramp for access to the interior on the N side. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 23 July 2019
