What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise of ground in gently undulating wet pasture-land. Ringfort (WM008-013---) 75m to NE. Monument covered in scrub vegetation making detailed examination difficult. Present remains consists of a circular shaped concave area (diam. 5.4m) enclosed by a well preserved earthen bank (Wth 3.6m; H 0.6m int.; max. H ext. 1.5m). The original profile of the monument is uncertain. This monument may originally have been a mound possibly a bowl-barrow which has been mutilated by partially quarrying out the centre of the mound with the upcast soil creating the present profile of the monument.
