What is recorded here
On a S-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a D-shaped enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. 45.5m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone with fragmentary traces of an external fosse. The rath, which is divided into unequal portions by a NW-SE field boundary, has since been levelled. However, the outline of the larger portion, to the SW of the boundary, may still be traced. The NE portion is not visible at ground level.
