What is recorded here

In pasture, on break in E-facing slope. Monument, depicted as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled and incorporated into pasture field. However, slight trace of low earthen bank (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.5m) evident NW->SSE, though best preserved NW->NNE, encloses circular area (diam. 32m). Interior, under pasture, slopes down gently towards centre. Grass cover in N half of interior is noticeably yellower than elsewhere in immediate area.
