What is recorded here

Situated on a ridge in gently rolling pasture. Good views in all directions. Sub-oval area (38m N-S; 30m E-W), defined by a bank, fosse and in places an external bank. The internal bank (int. H 0.3m; Wth. 3.45m; ext. H 0.3m) is fairly uniform, apart from in the E and W where it has been truncated by a field drain. The fosse (Wth. 0.6m) is evident from SE to NE, and has been truncated by the field drain to W. The external bank (int. H 0.3m; Wth. 4.7m; ext. H 0.2m) is visible only from the SE to the SW. The interior is uneven, with quarrying probably having taken place in the S and SE of the interior. There is a small circular mound in the interior (diam. 9m NE-SW; H 0.1m).

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
