What is recorded here

In pasture, atop low ridge. Oval area (34.9m N-S; 26.6m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 2.6m; Wth 3.2m) which grades to earthen bank (int. H 0.75m) SW->W and N->ENE. Scarp has near-vertical face which has been faced with stones in fashion of surrounding field boundaries. Facing rises into low wall (int. H 0.4m) atop scarp E->SE. Entrance at SW where there is a gap in scarp (Wth 4.4m) and gradual slope (H 0.65m; Wth 5.45m) up into interior from field level. There is a kink in scarp face at S which contains a blocked-up lintelled recess (H 0.9m; Wth 0.5m, D 0.8m). This faces trackway which skirts enclosure SE->SW but exact nature of recess is unclear. Level interior is covered by trees some of which have fallen. There is a dump of tree stumps and earth along verge at W. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
