What is recorded here

On slight SW-facing slope, in pasture, with excellent views from SE-S-W. Depicted on the 1897 OS 25-inch map as a penannular-shaped enclosure cut by a field boundary across the outer edge of the NW quadrant. Monument surveyed by the ASI in 1999 and described as a raised subcircular-shaped area (24m N-S; 22m E-W) defined by a scarp (Wth 1.1m; H 0.6m) and a field boundary. The scarp is visible from N-E-S-W-NW and a linear field boundary running ENE-WSW cuts across the scarp from NW-N. The interior is level, wet and densely overgrown in the NE quadrant. There is no obvious entrance feature. Monument is visible as an oval-shaped, tree-lined enclosure on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages taken 18/11/2018.
