What is recorded here

At the summit of the S end of a NW-SE ridge. Circular grass and scrub-covered platform (diam. 47.7m E-W; 43.4m N-S; H 1-1.9m) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 7.2m; int. H 0.2m) that only survives WSW-WNW, and by a complete rounded and overgrown fosse (Wth of top 6.7-7.8m; Wth of base 3-3.7m; D 0.5-1.3m). There is a causeway (Wth 4m) at E and the foundations of a NNE-SSE field wall bisect the monument. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
