What is recorded here
No visible entrance or ditch, only a low earthen ridge circling thirty-five metres of pasture. The fort has been partially levelled, yet its round shape still holds on a slight rise above the fields. It is not a showpiece or a complete ruin. It is a faded local mark, waiting for someone to walk its edge and imagine the life that disappeared beneath the grass.
On a low rise in pasture. This rath has been partially levelled. Extant remains comprise a circular area (diam. c. 35m) defined by a scarp (H 0.9-1.45m). There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable.
