What is recorded here

In gently undulating pasture on top of low rise. Oval area (dims. 43m N-S; 48m E-W) defined by earthen bank (Wth 3.8m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.5m) reduced to scarp (Wth 3.2m; H 0.3m) in places. Possible entrance (Wth 3.5m) at W. Bank intermittently eroded by cattle. Interior has gentle E-facing downslope. Cahill (1982) noted 'a subdivision in SE quadrant delimited by low bank' which was not discernible during subsequent field inspection. Pond abutting exterior at WSW.
