What is recorded here

On top of a hillock overlooking a broad basin S-W-NE. Circular, domed, grass-covered mound (diam. 20m N-S; 20m E-W; H 0.9-1.5m), which may be the natural hill, defined by a berm (Wth 2.5-4m) which is bordered by a scarp (H 0.5-0.8m). The base (dims 28m NNE-SSW; 27m WNW-ESE) is cut back at NW where there is a straight edge (L 14.5m) parallel with an ENE-WSW field bank that is 10m distant. There is no visible fosse or entrance, but there is an earthfast stone (RO048-109002-) with an oval cross-section (dims 1m x 0.6m; H 0.8m) 8m to the S.
