What is recorded here

The monument, which is depicted as a roughly circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on the 1923 OS 6-inch map, is now covered by a dense thicket of bushes and sycamore trees. It is bordered by a concrete farmyard and farm sheds WNW->ESE, by an orchard ESE->S and by a field of pasture S->WNW. It appears to take the form of a circular area (diam. c. 20m) defined by a scarped edge (H c. 2m; Wth c. 2m). The scarp has been sliced off at N exposing an earthen core.
