What is recorded here

On a gentle E-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 26.3m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (H 0.25m max.) that barely rises above the interior for most of its circuit. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded an external fosse, which has since been infilled. From SSW-W-WNW the bank has been incorporated into a modern field boundary. Elsewhere it and much of the interior have been disturbed due to the construction of modern field boundaries. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F.
