a bold stony mound some 26' wide at base
rising on the upper or SE. [South East] side to a height of 6'
above the ground immediately behind it. Outside
the mound on the NE. [North East] there runs a flat bot:
tomed trench some 26' wide the floor of which
lies some 5' below the crest of the scarp and
at most 3'.6" below that of the counterscarp.
The ?NW [North West] quadrant of the periphery has been almost
entirely eradicated and on its site stands a
shepherd's cottage. The interior lies at two
levels an irregular and apparently excavated
hollow runs across the inner side of the N. [North]
segment leaving the ground on the S. [South] at a
general higher level of some 3' to 4'. There is
a distinct trace of a stony bank crossing the
hollow and bisecting the higher platform.
The entrance seems to have been from the W. [West]
into the lowest part of the hollow.
