What is recorded here

Situated on a very slight rise, in pasture. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a curvilinear field boundary. Monument described in 1983 as a semi-circular shaped area (dims. 46m E-W; 44m N-S) enclosed by traces of an inner bank, with possible intervening fosse and a possible outer bank. There are very slight traces of a low inner bank at NW and N. A shallow ditch is present from SW-W-N-E-SE and may represent an intervening fosse. A possible outer bank is present from SW-W-N-E-SE and is incorporated into a field fence supporting a mature thorn hedge. A low, wide scarp defines the monument from SE-SW. The interior is generally level and featureless. Monument is visible on Digital Globe aerial photography as a curvilinear tree-lined field boundary.
