What is recorded here

On a shelf of level ground on an ENE-facing slope. A raised circular area (57m N-S; 54m E-W) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 4-5.6m; H 0.5-1.2m) with an external fosse (Wth c. 8.5m; D 0.3-0.7m) that has been infilled from WNW-N-SE. At the inner base of the bank at S is a drainage ditch. A wide break (Wth 11m) in the bank at ENE probably marks the sector in which the original entrance was located. Compiled by: Patrick F.
