  Description

  In pasture, on top of a hillock (70m OD) with excellent views of the surrounding landscape. Depicted on all OS historic mapping as a subcircular enclosure. It consists of a subcircular area (29m NE-SW; 26m NW-SE) defined by a well-formed, narrow-topped earthen bank (int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1.5m; Wth at top 0.4m; Wth at base 3.45m) which is covered in vegetation. There are narrow gaps (Wth 1.3m) at NW and NNE but no other entrance is apparent, possibly due to the vegetation. The interior is dished, with a high point at NNW. Vegetation around the perimeter is encroaching upon the centre of the interior. Field boundaries radiate from the exterior of the monument at NNE, SE and WSW, where there are gates in each case. The following images have been uploaded: _01 From SW. General view of monument. _02 From W. Oblique cross-sectional view of bank at SSE. _03 From SW. General view of interior. _04 From NW. General view of monument.
