What is recorded here

In level wet pasture on the NW side of a field system (TS 057-016014-) and with a ring-barrow (TS057-016006-) 10m to the NNW and another (TS057-016008-) immediately to the SSE with others nearby. Circular area (diam. c. 4.m) enclosed by a low earthen scarp (Wth 0.4m; H 0.1m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth at base 0.5m; D 0.1m). Scarp and fosse are best preserved NNW-SSE where the profile is well defined and consistent being barely visible at ground level NW-NNW and SSE-SW. From SE-NW the scarp has been truncated and the fosse removed by a NNW-ESE orientated modern field drain. The fosse is absent SSE-SW where the edge of the ring-barrow abuts the edge of another ring-barrow (TS057-016008-) immediately to the SSE. Interior is level and clear of overgrowth.
