What is recorded here
Situated towards the N end of a NNE-SSW drumlin ridge, the summit of which is c. 100m to the SSW. This rath is depicted as a D-shaped copse on the demesne of Fort Singleton, on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. This is an overgrown and wooded D-shaped area (dims 37.5m E-W; 35m N-S) defined by a slight earthen bank (at N: Wth 1.5m; H 0.5m) and outer fosse or drain (at N: Wth 2.3m; D c. 0.5m). There is no visible entrance, but the perimeter is cut by a NE-SW field bank at NW.
