What is recorded here

In pasture, on SSE-facing slope. Circular area (23.2m N-S; 25.7m E-W) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank (int. H 1.5m; ext. H 1.75m) except ESE->S where it has been denuded by cattle accessing interior (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.7m). Field boundary runs along base of outside face of bank SE->NW; formerly this boundary continued at either end away from enclosure but these sections now removed. Recent dump-construction earth-and-stone bank running along outside base of enclosing bank NW->ENE, probably derives from these boundaries. Level interior, covered by mature deciduous trees, has dump of stones in S quadrant which also probably derives from removed boundaries. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
