What is recorded here

In level pasture, c. 20m SW of another ringfort (LI013-035----). The monument is heavily masked by dense scrub vegetation cover. It is depicted on the 1924 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m N-S by c. 20m E-W) enclosed by a bank from SW to N to SE, with the remainder of the enclosing element indicated by a line. It is evident as a sub-circular area enclosed by two banks and an intervening fosse. The internal bank (int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1.15m; Wth 1.5m) is well-preserved all round, with a gap at SSE (Wth 1.1m). The fosse (Wth 1.5m) is evident all round. The external bank (ext. H 0.2m; int. H 0.6m; Wth 1.5m) has been incorporated into field boundaries from W to SSW and from NNE to E. A collapsed stone wall encroaches on the external bank and the fosse at S. The interior surface is uneven and covered by dense scrub vegetation and fallen trees. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 27 March 2013
