At first sight, this seems to be a Class I henge, 75' in diameter measured from the crest of the bank, but only excavation can determine whether the bank was origianally fully annular; if it were so then, at best, the structure could be called a protohenge or hengiform earthwork. Whether henge or not, it is extremely likely to be of about 2nd or 3rd millenium BC date.
