What is recorded here
Situated on top of a drumlin and within view of the site of Newbliss House, which is c. 240m to the NNE. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 45m E-W; 43.9m N-S) defined by a grass-covered earthen bank (at S: Wth of base 2.5m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.4m) with some bushes that is best preserved at SE, where there is an external drain (Wth 1.1m D 0.2m). The original entrance is not identified but the most likely is at NNW (Wth of base 1.8m), and there were old trees stumps in the interior in 1969. A grass-covered depression (dims c. 10m N-S; c. 4m E-W) in the N interior is not likely to be a Man-made underground passage. Although it is depicted as a large tree-riing on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map, it is probably a rath in origin.
