What is recorded here
Situated on a slight rise in wet, lowlying pasture. Large raised oval area (dims. 48m WNW-ESE; 39m NNE-SSW) defined by a low scarp (H 0.5m) upon which is a drystone wall which is similar in construction to nearby field boundary walls. At the foot of the scarp are ephemeral remains of a fosse (Wth. c.4m). At the outer lip of the fosse from N-NNE-NE is an outer bank (Wth. 4m; int. H 0.4m) which merges with a NW-SE field wall at NE. Original entrance not recognisable.
