What is recorded here

Situated on a gentle NW - facing slope in pasture. Raised circular area (dims. 29m E-W; 28m N-S) enclosed by a narrow bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.4m; int. H 0.8m). From NNE-NE the bank has been removed and the defining element is a scarp (H 0.2m). The outline of an infilled fosse is identifiable (Wth 4m) at the external foot of the bank and scarp. A break in the bank at E (Wth 2m) may mark the original entrance. There are quarry holes inside the bank at SE and SSE one of which (SL013-019002-) had erroneously been classified as a listed as a 'Building' in the RMP (1995).
