What is recorded here

In pasture, on a NW- facing sloped terrace on the N side of a low hill. Circular area (19.2m N-S; 20m E-W) defined by a scarped edge (H 0.8m; Wth 1m) with an external fosse (D 0.8m; Wth 1.7m) and a counterscarp bank (int. H 1.3m; ext. H 0.5m). An E-W running field drain truncates the enclosing element ESE->SW. Cattle have worn paths across the scarp at NW, NNW and ESE. The interior is level and covered by rough marshy pasture.
