What is recorded here

Situated in pasture-land on NE facing slope of prominent hill with good views from N-E-SE, overlooked by a hill to W. Ringfort (WM007-094----) 37m to N. A sub-circular shaped area (approx. dims. 31m NE-SW; 29m NW-SE) enclosed by a well preserved earthen bank, a narrow shallow fosse and traces of an outer bank only visible from ENE-E-S. The interior slopes from W-E and has traces of cultivation ridges which run E-W. The monument has been disturbed by digging along its perimeter from NNE-N-NNW. A modern fence bisects the site from WNW-ESE, appears to have been built sometime in the last few years and is visible on Digital Glober aerial photograph taken November 2011.
