What is recorded here

In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope, immediately to N of farmyard. Circular area (26m N-S) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank NW->SW but truncated SW->NW by dry-stone field boundary travelling N-S (interior now 21.5m E-W). Bank (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.3m), heavily masked by overgrowth, becomes quite linear NW->NNE. Gap in bank (Wth 3.2m) at SSE. Interior, covered with thistles, slopes down to SW. Just N of centre are six metal uprights, embedded in concrete, which formerly were part of a hay barn. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
