What is recorded here

In pasture at the base of a gentle ESE-facing slope. A raised D-shaped area (diam. 39.3m NW-SE; 37.1m NE-SW), with a straight SE side, enclosed by a wide low bank of earth and stone (Wth 6.1m; max. H 0.35m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 3.4m; D 0.4m). A stream flows outside the bank along the SE side and between it and the bank is a ledge or berm (Wth 4.1m; max. H 0.1m). A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a low outer bank from S-W-E, it has since been levelled. The original entrance is not recognisable. Another ringfort (LF014-103----) lies c. 20m to the N.
