What is recorded here

On a gentle S-facing slope. Depicted on the 1914 ed. of the 6-inch map as a sub-triangular area (dims c. 35m N-S; c. 30m E-W) with the apex at S and overlaid by a N-S field bank towards the perimeter at W. Only the portion W of this field bank now survives as a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 20m N-S; c. 5m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.5-1m) and an outer fosse (Wth of base 4m; D 0.5m) SW-NW. It was in a similar condition in 1972 (Gannon 1972). Moated site (RO016-091----) is c. 110m to the SE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 18 June 2015
