What is recorded here

On an E-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A raised circular area (diam. 34.5m) enclosed from SW-W-N by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4m; H 0.4-0.5m) and elsewhere defined by a low scarp (H 0.3-0.8m). A largely infilled external fosse (Wth c. 6m; D 0.3-0.6m) is visible from WSW-W-N. The rath is divided into unequal portions by a NW-SE field boundary. The original entrance is not recognisable.
