What is recorded here

In pasture, located on a low rise with good views. A circular embanked enclosure (diam. 20-25m) is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is depicted as a semicircular hachured feature, open to S on the 1919 edition. This rath survives as a roughly semi-circular platform (24.7m E–W; c. 10m N–S) defined on the curving N half by a scarp (H 0.8m-1m). At W a short length of dilapidated earth and stone bank (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.8m) tops the scarp. A roughly circular quarry pit (diam. c. 12m) has destroyed the S half of the interior. Interior grassy with a few hawthorn bushes; perimeter ringed with hawthorn and blackthorn. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 7 December 2021
