What is recorded here

On a low rise in pasture. A raised subcircular area (43m N-S; 39m E-W) enclosed at N and from S-SSW-SW by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4m; H 0.6-0.7m) and elsewhere defined by a scarp (H 1.5-2m). A very shallow external fosse (Wth 5.1m; D 0.1m) is evident from S-SSW-SW. Elsewhere it has been infilled and its site is marked by a berm (Wth 2-3.2m). A report in 1975 (SMR file) suggested that the original entrance may have been at E. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 23 November 2011
