What is recorded here

In poorly drianed grassland on a SE-facing slope of E-W ridge in upland area with stream immediately to the S and E with a ringfort 20m to the W and a levelled stone circle (TS054-011001-) 65m to the W. Monument visible on aerial photograph (GSI S. 578/7, 8-4-1974) as large roughly square enclosure (diam. c. 40m). Field inspection (3 Sept. 2003) describes a poorly defined rectangular area (approx. dims. 25m N-S; 20m E-W) enclosed by a poorly preserved and much degraded earthen bank visible on N and E sides only, no evidence of an outer fosse or entrance feature. This description seems to relate to a quadrant within the larger square enclosure. It is possible that the larger square enclosure and the internal sub-divisions may be a field dating to the 18th/19th-century rather than an archaeological monument.
