What is recorded here

On top of a low rise (343ft/105m OD), in pasture, with excellent views from SW-W-NW. Depicted as a raised circular shaped are enclosed by a wide berm on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map. An OS trig. station marking 345 ft. OD is shown standing on N side of enclosure on Cassini 6-inch map. Monument surveyed by the ASI in 1999 and described as a raised circular-shaped area (33m E-W; 31m N-S) defined by a scarp, berm and the remains of a low outer bank with entrance gap (Wth 5m) at E and a corresponding entrance gap (Wth 2m) in the outer bank. The intervening berm is level and present from NW-N-E-S-SW and a steep natural slope falls from the outer edge of the monument from SW-W-NW. The outer edge of the berm is defined by a low earthen bank from NNE-E-SE and by a scarp from SE-S-SW. The interior is slightly dome-shaped. Monument is visible as a circular-shaped, tree-planted enclosure on Digital Globe orthophotos taken 2011-13 and on Google Earth orthoimages taken 18/11/2018.
