What is recorded here

Situated on top of a narrow E-W ridge. Slightly raised oval area (49.5m E-W; 30m N-S) enclosed on the E side by a low earthen bank (Wth 3.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.9m) and elsewhere by a scarp (H 1.5m). There is evidence that both the internal and external sides of the bank may have been faced with stones. There is a break (Wth 1.5m) in the bank at E. At W, 3.2m out from the outer foot of the scarp, is a discrete length of bank (L 4m; Wth 4.3m; H 0.6-0.9m), possibly the last vestiges of an outer bank. Compiled by: Patrick F.
