What is recorded here

On a gentle E-facing slope of a WNW-ESE ridge. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 26.4m N-S) defined by slight traces of an earthen bank with some bushes (Wth c. 3-3.5m; int. H 0.1-0.2m; ext. H 1.2m) SSE-W-NNW which is reduced to a scarp (H 1m) elsewhere, and an outer rounded fosse (Wth of top 5.6-6m; Wth of base 2m; D 0.4m). There is an entrance through the bank (Wth 1.2m), but no causeway, at WSW and the edge of the platform has been quarried ENE-SSE (max. ext. diam. 38m N-S).
