What is recorded here

Situated on SW facing slope of rising ground, with limited views. In centre of ringfort (WM018-045----) are the remains of a rectangular house site (dims. 7.8m NW-SE; 7.2m NE-SW) enclosed by an earth and stone bank (H 1m; Wth 2.8m). A slight gap (Wth at top 3.3m; basal Wth 1m) is visible in the SE side. There is a disturbance gap and a shallow depression in the N corner. There is a similar depression at the inner foot of the bank at W. A slight bank extends to ENE from the N corner of the house site, toward the modern field boundary. The interior of the house is slightly lower across the NE half than the SW half. See attached sketch plan of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.
