In pasture, on a SE-facing slope, falling to valley below. Circular area (map diam. c. 30m) defined by bank (Wth 7.6m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.9m) which is best preserved SE-SSW and bank (Wth 6.25m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.7m) well preserved NW-ENE. Bank is reduced to scarp at SSW and NW where it is eroded by livestock. Fosse (Wth 5.7-7.3; D 0.15-0.25m) is visible SE-W and NW-ENE and is otherwise obscured by dense vegetation. Fosse is backfilled with slippage from bank at SE. Interior not accessible and is obscured by impenetrable overgrowth. Enclosing elements obscured by same ENE-SE and SSW-NW. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
