What is recorded here

Situated on level pasture, immediately W of a field boundary. The monument is heavily masked by dense scrub cover. A circular area (diam. c. 40m) is enclosed by two concentric earth-and-stone banks with an intervening fosse (Wth. 1.8m). The inner bank (Int. H 0.1m; Wth. 1.62m) is generally well preserved. The outer bank (Int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.26m; Wth. 1.15m), best preserved at W, S and SE, has been incorporated into the field boundary from WSW to WNW. There are concentrations of loose stone in the SE quadrant of the interior and atop the outer bank from SE to E. There is a possible entrance at SSW where the height of the inner bank dips (Wth. 8.1m). The interior is level and strewn with fallen deciduous trees.
