What is recorded here

On an E-facing slope. Oval grass-covered area (dims 35.7m E-W; 27m N-S) defined by an overgrown, flat-topped earthen bank (Wth of base 4.4-5.4m; Wth of top 2-3.1m; int. H 0.3m at S to 1.2m at W) which is reduced to a scarp (H 1.5m) NE-SE, and a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 4.8-6m; Wth of base 1-3m; D 0.4-1m) which is re-cut as a drain S-NW. There is a modern entrance (Wth 4m) and causeway (Wth 6m) at SW, but the original entrance cannot be identified. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
