What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise in low lying wet grassland, with fairly good views all around. A small circular shaped area (approx. diam. 19m N-S; 17 m E-W) enclosed by two earthen banks and an intervening fosse with possible causewayed entrance gap (Wth. 2.8m) at SE. The inner bank is low and fragmentary, the fosse is shallow and the outer bank has been reduced to a scarp at NW. The interior slopes slightly from N-S.
