Indicated

In pasture, located on a rise in undulating terrain. Views are extensive to N−SE. Ground rises gently to SW. There is a stream 150m to W. Substantially raised subcircular area or platform (26.5m N−S; 24.6m E−W) defined by a scarp (H 1.8-2m) which is consistently high around the circuit. The scarp is incorporated into a field fence at NNW−NE but retains its curve. Elsewhere the scarp has a very vertical external face, probably a modification dating to the modern era, and is engulfed in brambles. The interior slopes gently down to ESE. There is no obvious entrance; eroded sections of the scarp at E and NW are used by cattle. Animal burrow are evident in the SW and NE quadrants. Another rath (MA 071-123----) is located 290m to NW.
