What is recorded here

In pasture, in the SE corner of a modern field, located in lowlying wet ground, overlooked by higher ground to SW, and by a low rise to NW. Views fair to N, restricted by rising ground elsewhere. Roughly circular, slightly raised area (26m NE–SW; 24m NW–SE) defined in a broad arc SW–NE by a levelled bank. The bank is reduced to a low rise (Wth 7-8m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.55m) with a broad external slump and a low internal lip, giving the enclosure a somewhat saucer-shaped profile. The E edge of the enclosure is truncated by a straight NNE−SSW field fence, bordered on its W side by a field ditch, and on its E side by a trackway. A straight NW−SE fence overlies the enclosing bank at SW. The interior is level and grassy. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 22 December 2021
