What is recorded here

Situated on a slight S-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Circular raised area (diam. 12m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.05m; int. H 0.5m). At the external foot of the bank SW-N is a fosse (Wth 4.65m; D 0.25m). The only break in the bank is at S (Wth 1.7m) that may mark the position of the original entrance. Some coniferous trees, now c.20 years old, are planted in the interior. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
