What is recorded here

On a SSW-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 28.6m) enclosed by a much-denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.8m; H 0.1-0.55m) with fragmentary traces of a shallow intervening fosse (Wth 4.6m; D 0.9m) and an outer bank (Wth 3.9m; H 0.1-0.45m) from ENE–S–NNW. The inner bank is incorporated into a field bank from SSW–W–NNW, while the outer bank is incorporated into another field bank from SSE–S–SSW. Both banks and the fosse have been levelled from NNE–NE–ENE. A modern entrance at S may mark the location of the original one. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 17 January 2012
