What is recorded here

On a low but prominent hillock in pasture. A raised oval area (28.5m NE-SW; c. 25m NW-SE) enclosed by a much-denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.3m; H 0.4m max.) with an infilled external fosse (Wth 2.9m). The outer face of the bank has been steepened from E-SE-S where it is incorporated into a modern NE-SW field boundary. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F.
