What is recorded here

Situated on slight S-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (dims. 20m E-W; 19m N-S) enclosed by a bank of earth (Wth 3.4m; int. H 0.4m). The original entrance is not recognisable. There is no fosse visible at ground level. From NW-ENE and at SW, the internal and external faces of the bank are revetted with limestone slabs laid in edge. A drystone field wall abuts the external face of the bank S-SW and lies on top of the bank SW-NW. Compiled by: Mark Keegan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
