What is recorded here

Marked as an oval embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 50m N-S; c. 40m E-W) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a gentle E-facing slope. This is a subcircular grass and scrub-covered but poached area (dims 41.1m NE-SW; 36.4m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4-5.5m; int. H 0.7-0.75m; ext. H 1.7m) with coniferous trees and scrub, and an outer fosse (Wth of top 5.2m; Wth of base 3m; D 1.3m) WSW-NNW which is replaced by a lane N-E-S and widened into a pond S-SW. There is a modern entrance at SSW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
