What is recorded here

Situated on the rocky summit of a low NW-SE in undulating pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 33.5m) enclosed by a substantial bank (Wth 5.6-6.6m; int. H 1-1.4m; ext. H 1.5-1.8m) of earth and stone, with a shallow external fosse (Wth 3.6m). At the outer lip of the fosse is a second bank (Wth c. 5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 0.9m, at NE) which survives only at NW and NE. A break (Wth 2m) in the inner bank at E, with traces of an accompanying causeway across the fosse, represents the original entrance. There is another rath (SL016-053----) c. 60m to SSE.
