What is recorded here
On a gentle S-facing slope. Circular grass-covered platform (diam. 35.7m E-W; 34.7m N-S; H 2-2.2m) with slight traces of a bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H 0.3m) at N, defined by a fosse (Wth of top 7.7m at S to 12.3m at N; Wth of base 3-5m; D 1.1-1.5m), with an outer bank (Wth 2-4m; H 0.2-0.3m) WSW-N-SE. The fosse is damaged by a stone structure (dims c. 10m E-W; c. 7m N-S) and pond at S (max. ext. dim. 56.4m E-W). There is a modernised entrance (Wth 3.4m) at NE. Relict field banks extend to the N (L 25m) and E (L 18m) until they encounter an old grass-covered stream bed (Wth 6m; D 0.3m) which approaches from the W, circumscirbes the site N-E and runs off to the E.
