What is recorded here
No amount of thinking can force a clean answer when the facts refuse to fit. I will not decorate a missing place name or invent a person, date, event or claim about the camera.
On a hillock in pasture. A raised oval area (37m N-S; 23m E-W) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 5-6m; H 0.4-1m) with a wide, waterlogged, external fosse (Wth 5-7m; D 0.3-1m). There are modern field boundaries at the outer lip of the fosse from W-N-ESE. The original entrance is not recognisable. A report in 1978 (SMR file) recorded a waterlogged depression, of unknown significance, inside the bank at N. The rath is densely overgrown with scrub.
