What is recorded here

In gently undulating grassland. This subcircular rath (32m E-W; 30.3m N-S), in fair condition, is defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. Mature trees are growing along the inner bank. A field boundary clips the fosse from N to NE. The outer bank survives from SE through S to NW. A causewayed entrance gap at ESE may be original.
