What is recorded here

In pasture, located on a low N−S ridge, with sweeping views SE−W. Slightly raised oval area (c. 35m NE−SW; c. 25m NW−SE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.3m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.7m at SW). The bank is best preserved on the S arc, where large boulders roughly face the inner edge. For much of the circuit the internal face of the bank is low, especially on the N arc, where it is reduced to a scarp with a slight internal lip. A gap (Wth 4m) in the bank at SE may be the location of an original entrance. The interior is level, and according to local tradition contains a souterrain (MA040-034001-). A field fence, on a E−W axis, cuts through the S half. Thickly covered by hazel, hawthorn, blackthorn and brambles. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 15 May 2020
