A raised circular area (diam. 36.4m) enclosed by a partially denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.4m; H 0.8m max.) with a partially infilled, wide, shallow external fosse (Wth 2.9m; D 0.3m).

  Description

  On a SSW-facing slope within a golf course. A raised circular area (diam. 34.1m) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.2m; H 0.7-1.25m). At its external base is a narrow, steep-sided, partially waterlogged fosse (Wth 2.45m; D 1.1m), which has probably been recut in modern times. A wide break (Wth 4.2m) in the bank at N with an accompanying causeway probably marks the original entrance. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded vague traces of a low mound, of unknown significance, in the centre of the interior; it is no longer identifiable. Compiled by: Patrick F.
