What is recorded here

On top of slight rise, on a slight N-facing slope, in a locally prominent position in gently undulating pasture. A hut site (TS058-054001-) is located centrally within the ringfort. Circular slightly raised area (diam. 26m) defined by a gently sloping earthen scarped edge (Wth 4m; H 1.2m) with an external wide flat-bottomed fosse (overall Wth 7-8m; Wth at base 4.2 m; D 0.4m). A slight ramp (Wth. 4m) across the scarped edge at SE may mark the position of the original entrance. The interior is level, dry and clear of overgrowth.
