What is recorded here

In low-lying pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 45m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.8-4m; H 0.4-0.5m) with an external fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.4m), which has been infilled at W and NW. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a wide low bank of earth and stone at the outer lip of the fosse from W-N-ENE; it has since been levelled. Elsewhere its circuit is preserved in modern, curving, field boundaries. There are entrances at WNW (Wth 2m) and at NW (Wth 1m). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
