What is recorded here

In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope. Roughly circular area (26.8m N-S; 29.9m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank with external fosse (D 1m; W 3.1m). Bank (int. H 0.65m; ext. H 2m) is best preserved W->N, but worn down by cattle at S. Fosse is widest and flat-bottomed along N arc. A field boundary skirts along outer edge of fosse SSW->NE, so that enclosure occupies NE corner of field. Bank lowers at ESE for c. 2.15m where matched by causeway across fosse. Interior, covered with nettles, slopes down gently to S. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
