What is recorded here

Situated on the S-facingl slope of a broad NW-SE ridge. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 35m NNE-SSW) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (at NNE: Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.95m; ext. H 0.5m) with slight traces of an inner fosse which may have been excavated to supply material for the bank on the uphill side of the rath. The perimeter is truncated slightly at SE by a NE-SW field bank. There is no identifiable entrance.
