What is recorded here

Situated on a low N-S ridge in pasture. Raised oval area (dims. 32m N-S; 27m E-W) defined by a levelled bank of earth and stone (Wth. 4.6m; max. H 0.3m). At the external foot of the bank from SW-N-NE is a fosse (Wth. 2m) with an outer bank (Wth. 2m; H 0.25m). Original entrance not recognisable. At the outer foot of the outer bank from SW-N-NE is a modern field boundary. Elsewhere the site is largely obscured by large heaps of field clearance stones and other debris. Compiled by: Patrick F.
