What is recorded here

Marked as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a gentle S-facing slope. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 42.4m N-S; 39.8m E-W) defined by an eroded scarp (H 0.2-0.7m) and a flat-bottomed fosse (Wth of top 6.4-7.2m generally to 12.5m at E; Wth of base 2.8-4m; D 0.1m at E to 0.8m at W). There is no identifiable original entrance, but it is bisected by an E-W field wall with a wall running N from it. Rath (032-034----) is c. 35m to the N.
