What is recorded here
In pasture, located on a low rise bordering the W side of a strip of wet, marshy area. There is rising ground to E.
A circular embanked enclosure (diam. 30-35m), with a field boundary immediately adjacent at W−NW, is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; on the 1922 edition it is depicted as a D-shaped hachured enclosure (diam. c. 20m N−S), truncated on the straight N side by ENE−WSW field boundary. The enclosure, most likely a rath, has been levelled. A low undulating rise marks the location, bordered at N by an ENE−WSW field fence/property boundary.
