What is recorded here

On a gentle E-facing slope of a broad NW-SE spur. Subcircular grass and fern-covered area (dims 66m NW-SE; 56.3m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.6-5m; int. H 0.4-0.7m; ext. H 0.2-0.8m) which is incorporated into a field wall W-NNW but absent NNW-NNE (L 11m). There is no visible fosse and there are entrances at S (Wth 2.5m) and WSW (Wth 7.4m), but the original entrance (Wth 4.8m), marked by stones at either side, is at E. There is a quarry (diam. c. 10m; D c. 0.4m) at the centre, and this is overlain by a NW-SE field wall and hedge which bisects the interior. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
