What is recorded here

Situated on a gentle NE slope in grassland. The land rises gently from the site to S-SW and W, with good views in other directions. Ringfort (WM012-069----) 200m to WNW. A raised circular shaped area (approx. diam. 35m N-S; 34m EW) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank and a slight external fosse. The bank is best preserved from S-W-WNW, and reduced to a scarp elsewhere. The interior has a slight slope from SSW-NNE. There is a possible entrance at SE, where there is a slight depression (Wth 1.2m) in the scarp. Just outside this is a large possible quarry hole. A field fence running NNE-SSW intersects the perimeter of the monument at NNW. See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.
