What is recorded here

On a low knoll on a SW-facing slope. Circular grass-covered but poached area (diam. 36.7m N-S; 35.9m E-W) defined by a grass-covered earth and stone bank (Wth 2-3.2m; int. H 0.3-0.5m; ext. H 0.9-1.2m), with slight traces of a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 4.7m; Wth of base 2.2m; D 0.15m) N-NNE. A N-S field wall is built on the perimeter SW-NW. There are entrances at SSW (Wth 1.7m) and NNW (Wth 2m) which are probably modern. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
