What is recorded here

Marked on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as an embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35m), but it is not marked on a manuscript map of 1821 in NLI (14 A 23, 8). It is situated towards the bottom of the W-acing slope of Ask Hill, but no feature is visible at ground level in pasture. The cropmark of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) defined by a fosse feature with a possible entrance gap at N is visible on aerial photographs (MM (53) 21, 22). A berm (Wth c. 10-15m) separates the fosse from an outer, perfectly circular ditch feature SW-N-SE. The ditch backs onto the cropmark of an E-W stream which originates at the mound (WX007-020001-) c. 10m ESE of the rath.
