What is recorded here

On the E slope of a low ridge in pasture. A slightly raised oval area (c. 44m NNW-SSE; c. 37m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a much-denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.5m; H 0.1-0.2m). A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a shallow external fosse, which has since been infilled from WNW-N-SSW. From SSW-W-WNW the bank and fosse have been incorporated into a field boundary. The original entrance is not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 August 2011
