What is recorded here

On a very slight W-facing slope in undulating pasture. Circular area (diam. 32m N-S and E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth 3.1m crest, 8.1m base; 0.62m int. H; 1.06m ext. H) and slight, U-shaped fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.2m). There is no visible break in the bank. Field reclaimed and ringfort has been somewhat disturbed. Bank appears to be wide due to bank slippage.
