What is recorded here
No visible entrance, no straight wall, no modern marker. Under the grass and rushes the earth still holds its shape on the hillside, a room without a roof, waiting to be remembered.
Located on the S-facing slope of a drumlin. This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (diam. 29.8m E-W; 29.3m N-S) that slopes down to the S. it is defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth of base 5-9.3m; int. H 0.3m at W to 1m at N (upslope); ext. H 0.6m at N to 2.5m at E), which is reduced to a scarp (Wth 4m; H 1m) at S, and an external fosse (Wth of top 4-7m; Wth of base 1.2-1.8m; ext. D 0.2m). The original entrance is not identified, and the rath is circumscribed by a field bank E-S. Rath (LE032-002----) is c. 40m to the NW, on the other side of a N-S road.
