What is recorded here

On a low rise in otherwise level, poorly drained pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) indicates that this raised oval area (41m N-S; 36m E-W) was enclosed by two low banks of earth and stone and two fosses. It is defined by a scarp (H 1-1.3m) at the base of which is a shallow fosse (Wth 5m; D 0.4-0.6m). The outer bank and outer fosse have since been levelled. The original entrance is not recognisable.
