What is recorded here
In reclaimed farmland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a roughly subrectangular field (c. 43m ENE-WSW; c. 34m N-S) with a 'Cave' (GA104-062001-) in the N sector of the interior. On the 1933 edition only the field boundary, curving from NW to SE, is depicted. On inspection in May 1983 only the curving boundary was visible; it may mirror the line of a possible rath.
