What is recorded here

On a ridge in undulating pastureland. Subcircular rath (25m N-S; 22.5m E-W), in fair condition, defined by an inner bank, fosse and outer scarp. The inner bank survives from SSE to SW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse and outer scarp are evident all round. A causewayed gap (Wth 4.8m) at S may be original.
