What is recorded here
In level pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 44.5m) enclosed by a partially denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.1m; H 0.5m max.), which has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary from SSW–W-WNW. A wide, very shallow external fosse (Wth 5.7m; D 0.1m) is evident from SE–S–SSW. The rath is divided into unequal portions by a NE–SW field boundary. The smaller portion, to the NW, has been levelled but its outline is still identifiable. The original entrance is not recognisable.
