What is recorded here

In pasture, on gentle N-facing slope. Roughly circular area (diam. 34.8m N-S) defined by scarped edge (H 1.05m; Wth 0.8m) with external waterlogged fosse (D 1.5m; Wth 1.2m); enclosing element and interior are masked by dense overgrowth. Field boundaries skirt enclosure on S and W sides. Earthen bank (int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.4m), immediately outside but not concentric with scarp NW->SE, is probably of recent construction. Gaps across scarp at NE and S, but neither has corresponding causeway across fosse. Interior is completely covered by dense overgrowth. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
