What is recorded here

Situated on the E facing slope of a prominent rise in pasture land surrounded by gently undulating and hilly land with good views to the NW, NE and SE. Mound (WM003-064----) 300m to SSE, ringfort (WM003-060----) 360m to SSW, ringfort (WM003-059----) 550m to W. Heavily overgrown ringfort as shown on Digital Globe aerial photographs taken November 2011. The interior of the ringfort (WM003-063----) is uneven, rising gently towards the centre, where there is the remains of a possible house site. The interior has several low humps and hollows of unknown significance. There are shallow depressions just inside the perimeter on the NNW and NW, possibly due to disturbance in the past. Some stones are visible on the surface - a line of stones leading in from the bank at the S appear to be the remains of a wall, but this is uncertain.
