What is recorded here

On a gentle E-facing slope in low-lying pasture. A raised circular area (diam. c. 27m) enclosed from SE-S-ENE by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.4-3.6m; H 0.3-0.4m) and elsewhere defined by a scarp (H 1.3m). A narrow, shallow external fosse (Wth 1.8m; D 0.15m) is evident from NW-NNW-N. A break (Wth 2m) in the bank at E may mark the original entrance. A modern WNW-ESE field boundary skirts the rath at S.
