What is recorded here

On a gentle SSE-facing slope in pasture. A raised oval area (53.9m NNW-SSE; 35.7m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a wide, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 6.65m; H 0.4-1m) with a shallow, partially waterlogged external fosse (Wth 4.8m; D 0.3m). A depression (Wth 3.8m) in the bank at NE with an accompanying causeway may mark the original entrance. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a low platform close to the centre of the interior; it is no longer identifiable. A modern N-S field drain divides the latter into unequal portions.
