What is recorded here

On a SE-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 30m) enclosed from W-WNW-NNW by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 4-5.7m; H 0.5-1.45m) and elsewhere defined by a scarp (H 0.3-2m). A report in 1978 (SMR file) recorded an external fosse and noted that the original entrance may have been at E but these features are no longer visible. Some levelling of the scarp has occurred at E and adjacent to it; in this sector there is a raised triangular area (14m N-S; 13m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.6-1.5m). Compiled by: Patrick F.
