What is recorded here

In pasture, located on a rise on a N-facing slope. The land immediately to S is planted with forestry. This possible rath is shown on the 1837 OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 30m); by the time of the 1919 edition the N half of the enclosure had been removed and it is depicted as a hachured semi-circular area (diam. c. 25m NE−SW), curving from E−WSW. It has been levelled; there is no visible trace at ground level.
