What is recorded here

In farmyard, on level ground. Depicted as a large, roughly circular enclosure on the 1837 and 1940 editions of the OS 6-inch map. Remains comprise a semi-circular area enclosed from N to SE by a bank (diam. c. 54m; overall Wth 4m; H 2.1m). The bank is barely discernable through a mantle of brambles. There is a break (Wth 3.25m) at SE, which currently incorporates a gate. A farmyard occupies area to NW and SW. At the centre of the interior is a rectangular building (SL014-040002-).
