What is recorded here

In low-lying pasture, on gentle W-facing slope. Circular area (diam. 30m) enclosed by earthen bank with external fosse (Wth 1.2m; D 0.8m); a dry-stone field wall (H 0.9m) runs along outer edge of fosse. Bank (int. H 1.3m; ext. H 1.9m), heavily masked by overgrowth, has been quarried out (Wth 6m) at NNE creating a rough causeway across fosse. Interior, covered with briars and bracken, slopes very gently down to W; two electricity poles stand near verge at SSW.
