What is recorded here

Towards the top of the N-facing slope of a small hill. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 41m E-W; 35.7m N-S) defined by a gapped earthen bank (Wth 2.3m at S to 4.3m at SW; int. H 0.2-0.7m; ext. H 0.9-1.3m) SSE-SW and elsewhere by a scarp (H 1.05m at N), with an outer fosse (Wth of base 3.5m; D 0.3m) SE-SW which is clipped on the outside by an E-W field bank at S. The straight side at N is defined by a scarp, and has probably been truncated slightly. Rath (RO016-039----) is c. 280m to the SW and enclosure (RO016-040----) is c. 180m to the S.
