What is recorded here

Situated on a slight N-facing slope in gently undulating rocky pasture. A steep WSW-ENE orientated N-facing natural scarp abuts the edge of the site at N. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 26m) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 5.3m; int. H 1.2m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. From NW-NNE the bank has been removed by rock quarry (now disused) that has been cut into the N facing natural slope that abuts the N side of the site. A break (Wth 4m) in the bank at SSE marks the position of the original entrance. There is a small livestock break through the bank at NE. Compiled by: Patrick F.
