What is recorded here

On a slight knoll in otherwise level pasture. Depicted as an irregular tree-planted enclosure on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1975 (SMR file) indicates that this raised subcircular area ( 34.3m E-W; 33m N-S) was enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone, an intervening fosse and fragmentary remains of an outer bank and outer fosse. It is defined by a scarp (H 1-1.2m) at the base of which, from SE-S-SW, is a low berm that marks the line of an infilled fosse (Wth 3m; H 0.5-1m). The outer bank and fosse have been levelled. Quarrying has occurred in the SE quadrant of the interior and the original entrance is not recognisable. The rath is densely overgrown with scrub. Compiled by: Patrick F.
