What is recorded here
Situated on a slight rise in gently undulating pasture and traversed by a meandering WNW-ESE orientated public road that crosses the edge of the site at NW and at E. Roughly circular raised area (diam. c.26m) enclosed by a broad flat-topped bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.85m; int. H 1.5m). At the external base of the bank is a berm (Wth c.10m) and an external scarp (ext. H 1.8m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The site is densely overgrown at the edges at all sides. The internal bank appears to be absent NW-E. The berm is accessible E-SSE. The berm and the external scarp have been removed SE-NW and a modern house has been constructed 20m to the W of the site. The berm and external scarp may be present elsewhere but overgrowth does not allow access. The original entrance is not recognisable.
