What is recorded here

On a gentle SE-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area with some bushes (diam. 27.5m ENE-WSW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5.4-6m; int. H 0.3-0.75m; ext. H 1.2-1.25m). This is separated by a berm (Wth 10.5-14.4m) from an earthen bank (Wth 5-5.6m; int. H 0.85-2.3m; ext. H 2.2-2.75m) which is separated by a fosse (Wth of top 6.4-7m; Wth of base 2-3.8m; ext. D 1-1.35m) from a third bank (Wth 1.7-2.4m; ext. H 0.3-0.6m), which is missing ESE-SSW (max. ext. diam. 80m ENE-WSW). There is an entrance through the inner (Wth 2.8m) and central (Wth 1.7m) banks, and a causeway across the fosse, at SE. Rath (RO042-049001-) is c. 170m to the SE.
