What is recorded here

In gently undulating pasture. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. Dumped material, evident along field boundary which abutted enclosure on SE side, probably derives from bank. Faint depression, with concentration of stones along its inner edge, may mark line of fosse (diam. c. 30m). Interior now uneven and stony, and overgrown by gorse and scrub on S side.
