What is recorded here
Within a plantation of coniferous trees. Depicted as a circular 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. c. 37m) enclosed by a wide low bank of earth and stone with a wide, shallow, external fosse. The original entrance was not recognisable. The rath is very densely overgrown with scrub rendering inspection impossible.
