What is recorded here

At the crest of a N-facing slope within field system (RO035-015002-). It is depicted as a circular embanked enclosure on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as a rectangular hachured feature at the SE angle of a field on the 1911 edition, representing the NW quadrant. This is a rectangular grass-covered area (dims 23.7m E-W; 22.7m N-S) defined by earthen banks (Wth 3.3-5.1m; int. H 0.3-0.4m; ext. H 0.3-1m) which survive best at the SE corner (int. H 1.3m). There are quarries outside the banks at N and W but there is no identifiable original entrance, and the perimeter was integrated with field banks at S and E, which probably altered its shape into its present form.
