What is recorded here

Located at the summit of a short E-W drumlin ridge. This is a raised circular grass and scrub-covered area (diam. 19.1m N-S; 19.1m E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at W: Wth of base 2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.4m) with an outer fosse or drain (at W: Wth of base 1.1m; ext. D 0.55m). There is an entrance gap (Wth of base 1.8m) at SE.
