What is recorded here

In modern tree nursery atop natural rise of ground with good views in all directions. Raised circular area (diam. 40m E-W) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2m crest, 5m base; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.6-1.5m) reduced to a scarp in places and outer fosse (Wth 3m base; 10m top; ext. D 0.6m) visible from NW through N to NE only elsehwere it has been filled in. No entrance feature visible. Imposssible to examine interior due to dense cover of vegetation. Present road intersects interior of ringfort at E destroying the inner bank from NE through E to SE, as indicated on first edition OS 6-inch map. Modern trackway for nursery runs parallel to the road on the same axis and also bisects interior of ringfort. Interior is being used as place for dumping of waste vegetation and top soil.
