What is recorded here

On the floor of a small N-S valley a few metres W of a stream bed, in waterlogged pasture. There are fairly good views within the small valley. A circular, raised platform (int. diam. c. 37m) enclosed by an inner bank (int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.5m; Wth 2m), a fosse (Wth 3m), middle bank (int. H 1.2m; ext. H 0.8m; Wth 2m), berm (Wth 5m), outer bank (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.2m; Wth 1.5-2m). There is an entrance (Wth 5m) in the E quadrant which appears to be original. There is a gap (Wth 2m) in the S quadrant but it is only through the two outermost banks and it is staggered. The interior is heavily overgrown.
