What is recorded here

On the crest of a NW-SE ridge, towards its NW end. Circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 105.75m NW-SE; 97.5m NE-SW) defined by a fosse (Wth of top 5.5m at NW to 8.5m at NE; max. int. D 0.3m) and outer bank (Wth 3.5-4.8m; int. H 0.5-1.4m; ext. H 0.2-0.5m) NE-E-SE, which can be traced as slight features SE-SW and NW-NE, but the inner edge of the fosse can be traced all around. There are gaps in the bank at NE, ENE, ESE and SE, but these are probably modern. Bowl barrow (RO027-047001-) is at the centre, and two E-W field walls with hedges overlie the enclosure S of the barrow.
