What is recorded here

On a SE-facing slope in grassland. Well-preserved oval rath (67m N-S; 55m E-W) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. The inner bank is visible from N through E to SW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse and outer bank only survive from NW through N to NE. There is a causewayed entrance gap (Wth 4.5m) at N. A L-shaped depression in the interior may be the site of a possible souterrain (GA108-064001-).
