What is recorded here

In wooded area, on E-facing slope, in area of outcropping limestone. Circular area (diam. 29m) enclosed by two concentric earth-and-stone banks. Inner bank (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 1.6m), best preserved along S arc, lowers and becomes scarp-like NW->NNE (H 0.9m); dip in bank at ESE (Wth 3.2m). Much-denuded outer bank (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.55m), c. 1.5m distant from inner bank, is overlain by field wall WSW->NW. Interior, covered by mature deciduous trees, has lower N third separated from remainder by scarped edge (H 1m; Wth 6.1m); loose stones scattered long top of scarp are probably remains of a collapsed dry-stone wall.
