What is recorded here

Situated at the E edge of a low rise in pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 25m E-W) defined by a scarp (ext. H 0.5 at W, 0.8-1m at E). At the base of the scarp at S is a ditch (Wth. 2.8-3.2m; D 0.6m) of uncertain antiquity. In the E half of the interior there is a low scarp, curving NE-SE, to E of which there is a drop in interior ground level of 0.5m. Centrally located within the interior is a deep pit (11m E-W; 4-5m N-S; D 1.3m), possibly a collapsed souterrain (SL012-066002-). The rath is bisected roughly centrally by an E-W field fence.
