What is recorded here

Towards the bottom of the gentle SW-facing slope of a drumlin. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 49m NW-SE; 44m NE-SW) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at SW: Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.1m) SE-W-NNW, and elsewhere by a scarp (at NE: H 1.1m) and hedge. The fosse (at NE: Wth of top 3.9; Wth of base 1.7m; D 0.9m; at SW: Wth of top 4.4m; Wth of base 2.8m; D 0.4m) E-S-NW is re-cut as a drain NW-E. There is an outer bank (at SW: Wth 1.9m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.3m) SW-WNW, and a NW-SE field bank bisects the interior. There are modern entrances (Wth 2-2.5m) at S and NW, but the original entrance (Wth 0.9m) is at NE.
