What is recorded here

Situated on a slight S-facing slope in gently undulating mountain pasture. Slightly raised oval area (27m N-S; 25m E-W) enclosed by a broad bank of earth (Wth 4.4m; int. H 0.5m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. A modern drain has been cut along the external base of the bank NE-SE. A break (Wth 2.7m) in the bank at S with a ramp to the exterior marks the position of the original entrance. There is some irregular rubble stone on the ramp and at the bank terminals indicating that the entrance may have been stone lined. The remains of a hut site (SL009-008002-) are located slightly to S of centre in the interior and a souterrain (SL009-008003-) is located slightly to NNW of centre in the interior.
