What is recorded here

In pasture, on a terrace overlooking a stream to S. An arc of a scarp (C 29m NE-SW; H 1.2m) extends E-SSE from the SW side of a NW-SE field boundary. This possible rath is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a large embanked oval area (c. 45m NE-SW; 30m NW-SE) with a limekiln on the bank at SE. The remaining arc may have been used as a ramp up to the limekiln.
