  Description

  Situated in flat pasture. The monument, depicted on the 1924 OS 6-inch map as an oval area (c. 25m E-W; 20m N-S) defined by a scarp, is now heavily masked by dense scrub vegetation. It is evident as a roughly oval area (23m E-W) defined by a scarped edge with an external fosse. The scarp (Wth. 2.1m; H 1.1m) has been eroded by scrub vegetation. The fosse (Wth. 2.4m; D 0.4m) is u-shaped and regular throughout its circuit. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 27 March 2013
