What is recorded here

Situated on slight natural rise in gently undulating pasture. Raised roughly circular area (24m E-W; 21.5m N-S) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.3m; int. H 0.4m). No fosse is visible at ground level. From E-NE, the bank has been removed leaving a scarp (ext. H 0.3m). A small quarry lies immediately outside the bank at NW. A break (Wth 3.1m) in the bank at E marks the position of the original entrance. A small midden (SL011-014002-) is located to NE of centre in the interior.
