What is recorded here

In pasture, on E-facing hill slope. Circular area (25.9m N-S; 26m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 1.8m); parts of bank covered by dense overgrowth. Bank has been incorporated into field boundary NW->N. At N a recently cut drain exaggerates external bank height. Field boundary skirts bank NNE->SE; enclosure occupies NE corner of field. Gap in bank at NE (W 1.8m) leads into shallow linear depression (D 0.65m; W 1m) which extends on a rough NE/SW axis across interior for 16m before fading out. Otherwise interior level and under pasture. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
