What is recorded here
Situated on a low rise in pasture. Raised circular area or platform (diam. 32m) defined by a substantial earthen bank (Wth 7.5m; int. H 1.6m; ext. H 3.6m), with remnants of internal stone facing, and enclosed externally by a wide, deep fosse (Wth. 4m; D 1.5m) with ephemeral traces at W of a possible counterscarp bank (Wth 3.5-4m). The original entrance was most likely at the E where the fosse is not evident and there is a break (Wth 5.5m) in the bank. There is another break (Wth. 1.4m) in the bank at SE. At the centre of the internal area is a slight hollow with a large slab set into it.
