What is recorded here
Situated in hazel woodland on top of a ridge running NW-SE, in area of undulating countryside with ringfort (WM001-021---) 90m to NE. A heavily overgrown platform type ringfort consists of a raised circular area (diam. 26.5m) enclosed by a massive earth and stone bank and shallow fosse best preserved at E & W with causewayed entrance gap (top Wth 2.5m; bottom Wth 0.9m) at N. The interior of the site is somewhat uneven and contains the remains of a rectangular house (WM001-022001-). There are slight remains of a low external bank but it has been almost completely levelled. The rath is largely overgrown with hazel and briars making detailed examination impossible.
