What is recorded here

In pasture, on slight W-facing slope. Formerly circular enclosure is now bisected by field boundary travelling on SE-NW axis. There is no visible surface trace of any archaeological features on SW side of boundary. On NE side of boundary a scarped edge (H 0.6m; Wth 0.4m) encloses D-shaped area (10.2m N-S; 13.7m E-W) W->SE, which is otherwise defined by field boundary. Immediately outside scarp is external fosse (D 0.4m; Wth 2.3m). Causeway entrance (Wth 2.35m) at WNW. Interior is level and under pasture, but there are patches of overgrowth covering top of scarp.
