What is recorded here

Situated on a rise, in pasture and overlooking low-lying, rough pasture to N. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly oval-shaped earthwork abutting a field boundary to E and S. Monument described in 1973 as a roughly circular-shaped area (approx. diam. 42m) defined by a scarp, an intervening fosse and an outer bank. The scarp is constructed of earth and stone and is defined on the exterior by a shallow fosse. There are traces of a slight outer bank visible from SW-W-N-E-SE which may be incorporated in to a field boundary from SE-S-SW. The interior is relatively level and some stones project from the surface. Monument is visible today as a tree-planted earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography.
