What is recorded here
In rolling pasture. A raised roughly oval area (31.7m NNW-SSE; 23.8m WNW-ESE) enclosed from W-WNW-NW by a very low bank of earth and stone (Wth 6.4m; H 0.25m max.). Elsewhere the defining element is a scarp (H 0.3-0.85m). A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded an external fosse and an outer bank, neither of which is visible at ground level. The original entrance is not recognisable.
