What is recorded here

On a slight E-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 38m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.5m) which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.2m) NE-SE. An outer fosse (Wth of base 2-2.2m; D 0.6m) separates it from an outer bank (Wth 1.7-2.7m; ext. H 0.2-0.5m) NE-NW. There is no visible entrance, and the site is truncated by an ENE-WSW railway bank at N. Archaeological testing c. 20m to the E failed to produce archaeological material, (Fitzpatrick 2009b).
