What is recorded here

In low-lying pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1976 (SMR file) noted that this raised circular area (diam. c. 32m) was enclosed by a bank of earth and stone and the original entrance was at SE. It is defined by a scarp (H 1-1.2m). At the base of the scarp is a deep waterlogged fosse (Wth 3.6m), which has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. From W-N-NNE a modern NE-SW roadway cuts through the rath.
