What is recorded here

In pasture with some rock outcroping, on a WNW-facing slope. Circular area (30m N-S; 28m E-W) defined by scarped edge NE-SE and SW-W (Wth 7.6m; D 2.45m); scarp in levelled W-NE and is obscured by impenetrable vegetation SE-SSE and S-SW. Interior slopes down gently with prevalent slope in E-half and is generally level in W-half, where it may have been raised to compensate for hill-slope. Scarp incorporates rock outcrop SW-W where there is evidence of former shallow quarrying. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 31 October 2013
