Description
Summary Description and Reason for Designation
The following provides a general description of the Scheduled Ancient Monument.
The monument consists of an earthwork of unknown character and date. It comprises a slightly raised plateau, circular in shape with a diameter of 27m. It is surrounded by a deep ditch that is waterlogged in parts, measuring 0.5m wide and 1-1.3m deep. A low outer bank, around 0.5m high on the outside, surrounds the ditch.
The monument is of national importance for its potential to enhance our knowledge of defensive, agricultural or settlement organisation. It retains significant archaeological potential, with a strong probability of the presence of associated archaeological features and deposits.
The scheduled area comprises the remains described and areas around them within which related evidence may be expected to survive.
