What is recorded here
At the bottom of a SE-facing slope and at the N edge of a W-E valley (Wth c. 100m; D c. 10m). The E corner of moated site (RO028-130002-) curves outwards (diam. 23.3m N-S) NNW-E-SW as if it incorporated a rath. It is defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.6-4.3m; int. H 0.2-0.3m; ext. H 1.2-1.5m) and outer fosse (Wth of top 5.2-6m; Wth of base 2.5-2.8m; D 0.5-0.7m) NNW-E-SW, but there is no evidence of either a bank or fosse elsewhere. Rath (RO028-131----) is c. 90m to the SE and rath (RO028-132----) is c. 90m to the S.
