What is recorded here

Situated on a NE-facing slope in poorly drained pasture. Raised subcircular area (28.6m NW-SE; 24.6m NE-SW) enclosed by a substantial earthen bank (Wth 4.6-6.7m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.55-2.3m). A fosse, evident as a shallow depression (Wth 4.5-5m), can be traced at the outer foot of the bank at NE-SE. A break in bank (Wth. 4.4m) at E, with traces of an accompanying causeway across the fosse, represents the original entrance. At the inner foot of the bank at SE-SW is a low terrace (Wth 3m; H 0.4m). Incorporated into this and built against the inner face of the bank at S is a subrectangular platform (6.8m E-W; 4.8m N-S; H 0.8m), possibly the remains of a house(SL012-033002-). There is a possible rath (SL012-034----) c. 95m to ESE. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 19 January 2011
