What is recorded here

Marked similarly on the 1837 and 1915 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated towards the top of the NNW-facing slope of a NE-SW ridge. This is an oval platform with a beech plantation (dims 46.5m WNW-ESE; 28.7m NNE-SSW) defined by a fosse (Wth of top 7m; Wth of base 1.1-1.4m; int. D 1.55-2.1m; ext. D 1.75-2.7m) and an outer bank (Wth 5.8-8.8m; H 0.3-0.4m). There is no identifiable original entrance and the inner face of the fosse has an almost vertical stone facing. There is spoil on the outer bank NE-SE and a pond outside it to the NW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
