What is recorded here

On a slight NE-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 27m N-S) defined by an eroded earthen bank with some scrub (Wth 3m at N to 4.7m at S; int. H 0.2-0.6m; ext. H 0.8-1.2m) N-S-WSW, with an outer fosse (Wth of top 3.2m; D 0.2-0.4m) SE-S represented by a band of rushes (Wth 3m) N-E but expanded into a pond S-WSW. There is no visible entrance, and the perimeter is truncated by the scarp of a removed NE-SW field bank at NW. Earthwork (RO011-057----) and ring-ditch (RO011-057001-) are c. 60m to the SSE, but archaeological testing (06E1187) c. 50m to the E failed to produce any related material (Read 2009b).
