What is recorded here

On level, low-lying ground. A raised oval area (47.4m NW-SE; 37.9m NE-SW) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.4m; H 0.3-0.8m) with an external fosse (Wth 2.6m; D 0.3m). The bank has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. From NNE-E-SE its outer face and much of its core have been removed and replaced by a modern drystone wall. The fosse has been infilled from SE-S-W. Elsewhere it has been filled with felled trees and large boulders. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F.
