What is recorded here

On a gentle NNE-facing slope in pasture. A raised oval area (54.4m N-S; 42.1m E-W) enclosed by a much-denuded, wide, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 7.5m; H 0.4m) with a wide, shallow, external fosse (Wth 5.2m; D 0.3m). The latter has been infilled from SSW-N-NNE but its outline is still identifiable. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded vague traces of a possible outer bank at SW, which are no longer identifiable. A wide break (Wth 4.7m) in the bank at ENE with traces of an accompanying causeway marks the original entrance. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
