What is recorded here

Situated on a very slight rise in gently undulating pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 28m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 6m; int. H 0.3m). At the external foot of the bank is a berm (Wth 4m) and an external bank of earth and stone (Wth 2m; int. H 0.4m). The internal bank encloses the site on all sides except for a small portion quarried away at NE. Both the berm and the external bank enclose the site SE-NW and are not visible at ground level elsewhere. The original entrance is via a break (Wth 2.4m) in the internal bank at E.
