What is recorded here

On a gentle N-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 42.3m E-W; 40.4m N-S) defined by a slight earthen bank (at E: Wth 3.4m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.1m) N-E which is largely reduced to a scarp with bushes (at W: H 1.1m) elsewhere, and slight traces of a fosse NNE-NE, at SW and WNW-NW. The monument is bisected by a N-S field bank and there is a large quarry inside the perimeter at SW. The original entrance is not identified.
