Description
A severely mutilated, ploughed-down , sub-circular, embanked enclosure, 100m by 116m, confined by natural slopes and scarps to the W, N and E. The enclosure is similar in size and shape to Capeston Rath (NPRN 305349), some 170m to the east. Both enclosures overlook the valley of the Sandyhaven stream. A cist burial within a possible Bronze Age barrow (NPRN 423678) lies at the base of the valley and is equidistant from the two enclosures.
