Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) on the 1837 and 1915 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated towards the bottom of a NE-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 45m NW-SE) defined by a slight broad rise (at SSE: Wth 6m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.4m) SE-W-NW, and slight traces of an outer fosse (Wth 5m; D 0.35m) WSW-NW, but the perimeter merges into the slope NW-E-SE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
