What is recorded here

At the crest of a NW-SE ridge. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 26.4m N-S; 23.4m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5-3.1m; int. H 0.1-0.5m; ext. H 1-1.3m) incorporated into a field bank and hedge ESE-S-WNW, and a scarp (H 0.6-1.4m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or entrance. The entrance to souterrain (RO014-023002-) is at the centre, and a grass-covered circular penitential cairn (RO014-023003-) (diam. 12m E-W; 10.75m N-S; max. H 1.3m) with a trig. station on its summit is immediately E of its entrance. An extended burial (RO014-023004-) with the head at W was found inside the perimeter at N in 1962 (NMI file).
