What is recorded here

Situated in poorly-drained, flat pasture with moderate views in all directions. The monument is heavily obscured by scrub vegetation. It is evident as a roughly circular area (diam. c. 21m N-S) defined by a scarped edge (Wth 4.2m; H 1.2m), with an external fosse (Wth 3.6m; D 0.6m) from WSW to SE. A possible outer bank (ext. H 0.4m; Wth 6.6m; int. H 0.6m) is evident at W, NW and SE. Two field drains impact on the site at NW and E, and it is moderately poached by cattle in the interior but more so in the fosse.
