What is recorded here

On a W-facing slope in pasture. A large, raised, oval-shaped area (53m ENE-WSW; 47m NNW-SSE) enclosed by a wide low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.7-5.1m; H 0.1-0.6m) with a round-bottomed external fosse (Wth c. 3m) from WNW-NW. Elsewhere the latter is evident as a poorly defined depression. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior contains large quantities of stone, most likely field-clearance material.
