What is recorded here

On a gentle S-facing slope towards the E end of a WNW-ESE ridge. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 44m E-W; 40.8m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.2-0.4m) and short lengths of earthen bank (Wth 2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.55m) on the perimeter at NW and NE. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. The monument is truncated slightly by a N-S field wall at W, and the perimeter at N is overlain by an E-W field wall. There are NE-SW lazy-beds in the interior.
