What is recorded here

On a SE-facing hillside in rough pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 34.3m) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 6.3m; H 0.2-1.4m) with a wide, deep, waterlogged external fosse (Wth 4.2m; D 2.4m). A report in 1990 (SMR file) recorded traces of an outer bank from NW-NNW-N and from NE-E-SE. These are no longer identifiable. Elsewhere, the outer bank has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. A break (Wth 2.2m) in the bank at SE with an accompanying causeway may mark the original entrance.
