What is recorded here

Situated in low lying pasture, with views restricted by the surrounding landscape. Depicted on the 1913 ed. OS 6-inch map as an oval-shaped earthwork. Monument described in 1971 and 1976 as a raised roughly oval-shaped area (dims. 23.4m N-S; 17m E-W) defined by a scarp and external fosse. The scarp is very slight as is the fosse (Wth at top 4.4m). The interior is flat and no features are discernible. There is a very slight depression running NE-SW across the monument. Levelled monument visible today as an oval-shaped cropmark on Digital Globe aerial photography. See attached profile of monument surveyed and drawn by the ASI.
