What is recorded here
Situated on a small W-E spur towards the bottom of the E-facing slope of a drumlin and within view of the site of Newbliss House, which is c. 440m to the NE. A circular enclosure (ext. diam. c. 25m) is depicted on the line of the straight W perimeter of a D-shaped wood (dims c. 90m N-S; c. 80m E-W) on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. This is a grass-covered circular area (diam. 29m E-W; 27m N-S) defined by a grass-covered earthen bank (at ENE: Wth of base 2.2m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.4m) that survives best N-E-S, and traces of an outer fosse of drain (at ENE: Wth 1.3m; D 0.2m). An entrance is not identified and old tree stumps are present. It was adapted as a tree ring, but it was probably a rath originally.
