What is recorded here

In pasture, on a low rise. Barely traceable remains of sub-oval enclosure (dims. c. 70m N-S; c. 50m E-W) defined by short arc of bank (overall Wth 4.55m; Wth at top 2.0m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.6m) at NW which is reduced to scarp (Wth 3.0m; H 0.5m) NNW-N. Arc (dims. C 22m; 12m NNW-SSE) formed by bank and scarp are incorporated into field boundary NW-N. Scarp has been levelled outwards forming a long gradual slope E-SW which is completely levelled SW-NW. Interior is on a low rise and monument is incorporated into field as pasture. Within the enclosure there are references to a church (TS060-043002-) and other earthworks, possibly building foundations (TS060-043003-) which are not visible at ground level.
