What is recorded here

In pasture, on a low rise. A raised oval area (diam. 49.7m N-S; 38m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 1.4m) with an external flat-bottomed fosse (Wth 7m; D 0.8m) along the W, N and SE arcs. The interior is boggy and badly poached by cattle and is slightly concave. There is a square depression (3m x 3m) just W of the centre. A modern field boundary encloses the rath and a lane clips its S edge. A hedgerow grows along the perimeter.
