What is recorded here

On a NE-facing slope in pasture. Described in 1975 (SMR file) as a slightly raised oval platform (c. 64m E-W; c. 52m N-S) defined by a low bank of earth and stone. The original entrance may have been at NE. A possible church (LF013-034----) was evident in the SE quadrant of the interior as well as a cross-inscribed pillar (LF013-034003-) and an internal subdividing bank. The enclosure is defined by a scarp (H 0.25-0.8m). No visible surface trace of the internal bank survives. Compiled by: Patrick F.
