What is recorded here

Situated on a NE-SW ridge in pasture. A circular area (diam. 30.7m) enclosed by a partially eroded earthen bank (Wth 3.7m at N, 4.1m at S; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.7m at N, 1.1m at S). A break (Wth 2.5m) in bank at NE may mark original entrance. There is another break (Wth 2m) at S. The interior is not raised but appears to be roughly at the same level as exterior ground surface.
