What is recorded here

Located on a slight ESE-facing slope. This is an oval grass-covered area (dims 34m WNW-ESE; 28m NNE-SSW) defined by an earthen bank (at ENE: Wth of base 5.75m; int. H 0.65m; ext. H 0.7m), and an outer fosse (at ENE: Wth of top 3.6m; Wth of base 1.5m; ext. D 0.7m) SW-N-SE. The original entrance is not identified, and the bank is incorporated into an overgrown field bank SW-NNW. A possible hut-site (RO029-046001-) is visible as a grass and scrub-covered platform (dims 12m N-S; 11m E-W) against the inner edge of the bank at W, defined by a scarp (Wth 2m; 0.3m) NNW-E-SSW.
