Fairy fort / earthen ringfort

What is recorded here

Situated on a slight E-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Another rath (SL008-123---) is visible 250m to the N. Raised roughly D-shaped area (dims. 20m N-S; 16m E-W) enclosed by a low broad bank of earth and stone (Wth 3m; int. H 0.2m). There is no fosse visible at ground level. The bank is best preserved S-N but is only barely visible ESE-S. The internal base of the bank is revetted with a single row of limestone rubble stone W-NW. From N-ESE the bank and a portion of the interior have been removed with the edge of the site now defined by an irregular low NW-SE orientated scarp. The original entrance is not recognisable.
