What is recorded here

On a very gentle SW-facing slope in pasture. A raised oval area (c. 44m N-S; c. 38m E-W) enclosed by a much-denuded low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.3m; H 0.3m) with a largely infilled fosse (Wth c. 3m). A break (Wth 2.2m) in the bank at SE may mark the original entrance. The ground level of the interior is uneven; a possible house site (LF022-030002-) is visible in the NW quadrant.
