What is recorded here

In pasture, on steep N-facing slope. Sub-circular area (20.8m N-S; 22.5m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank, with external fosse (Wth 2.1m; D 0.2m) WSW->NNW. Bank (int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.45m), best preserved WSW->NW, lowers to scarped edge NNW->NNE (H 0.3m; Wth 2m). External bank face is directly against E-W field boundary SE->S. Interior, under pasture, slopes down to N. Another ringfort (LI019-18601-) lies immediately to SW and was probably conjoined to this enclosure before construction of field boundary between them.
