What is recorded here

On a low rise in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 29m) defined by a scarp (H 1.5m), which has been largely levelled at SW. At the base of the scarp from E-ESE-SE is a waterlogged fosse (Wth c. 2.5-3m; D 0.4m). From NNE-NE-E this has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. Elsewhere it has been infilled. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a low outer bank from S-SW-WSW; it is no longer identifiable. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F.
