On a very slight SE-facing slope in pasture with ringforts (TS057-008001- and TS057-009----) visible on slightly lower ground c. 550m to the SW. Circular slightly raised area (diam. 24m) enclosed by a gently sloping earthen scarp (Wth 1.45m; H 65m) with an external broad flat-bottomed fosse (Wth at base 2m; overall Wth 3.25m; D 0.45m). Fosse absent from SW-NW where a N-S orientated field drain abuts the external base of the scarp at W. Original entrance is not recognisable. Interior bisected by the line of a removed E-W orientated field boundary and is clear of overgrowth. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
