What is recorded here

On a W-facing slope in grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (64m E-W; 60m N-S) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is visible only at NNE; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse and outer bank survive from SE through S to NW. Quarrying has encroached upon the monument at E.
