What is recorded here
Thirty-five metres of forgotten boundary still circle the low pasture, though a road has cut clean through its southern heart. The missing northern bank hides beneath grass and rain, visible only when viewed from above. What remains is a bruised ring in the earth, half-swallowed by time and traffic, yet stubborn enough to resist complete erasure.
In low-lying pastureland. Poorly preserved roughly circular rath (diam. c. 35m) defined
by a bank. A road cuts through the monument from SW to NE and no surface trace of the enclosing element survives to the NW of it. However, its outline is clearly visible on the OSi digitalglobe aerial photograph.
