What is recorded here

In marshy pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope with clear views to the S, overlooked by higher ground to W, c. 50m east of a stream. Hachured on the 1840 and 1916 eds. OS 6-inch maps. A bivallate circular rath (est. diam. 22m) defined by an inner bank (Wth 1.5-2.5m; H 0.1-0.25m), a fosse (Wth 1.9-2.6m; int. D 0.25-0.55m), and an outer bank (Wth 2-3m; ext. H 0.35-0.5m). A gap (Wth 1.8m) at SE in the inner bank may indicate an original entrance. The interior slopes gently down to S. The entire W part of the site is heavily overgrown and a NW-SE field boundary may truncate the site in this area. The interior is covered in rushes.
