What is recorded here

Situated on a low rise in gently undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 21m) defined by a scarp (H 1.15m - 1.9m). At NW 4 large stones form a kerb. From S-SSW-SW the platform is edged by a series of low stones (Wth. 0.4m - 0.8m). The scarp has been incorporated into a NW-SE field boundary from NNW-N-ENE. A NNE-SSW roadway skirts the site from SW-W-NNW and a NNE-SSW field boundary abutts the site from ENE-E-ESE. Original entrance not recognisable. Compiled by: Patrick F.
