What is recorded here

Situated on a SE-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. The monument, partially obscured by scrub vegetation, consists of a circular area (37m NW-SE; 34m NE-SW) defined by a scarped edge (Wth 4.9m; H 1.5m) with an external fosse (Wth 2.4m) and a counter-scarp bank (int. H 1.1m; Wth. 2m; ext. H 0.2m). There are two gaps in the bank, one at SSW (Wth 2m) and one at NW (Wth 10m). The interior surface is uneven and slopes down to N, SE and SW.
