What is recorded here

In pasture, on gentle SW-facing slope, immediately W of public road. Circular area (31.5m N-S; 31.5m E-W) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank (int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1m) best preserved SE->W, and generally covered by dense overgrowth. Break in bank (Wth 7.2m) at NW possibly resultant from removal of field boundary, indicated on 1923 OS 6-inch map abutting bank at this point. Section of bank (Wth 10.6m) at ENE, where site borders public road, has recently been removed. Interior is under pasture that has been poached by cattle; S half slopes down gently to S.
