What is recorded here

Situated on W facing slope of rising ground, surrounded by poor grassland. A circular shaped area (approx. diam. 25m E-W) enclosed by a low poorly preserved earth and stone bank mainly reduced to a scarp with very slight remains of an external fosse. The bank has evidence of internal stone facing visible from NE-SW. The interior is uneven and contains dumps of stone. A relict field bank has levelled the perimeter of the monument at NE.
