What is recorded here
On a hillock in wet, low-lying pasture. Depicted as an oval enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a slightly raised oval area (c. 46m NW-SE; c. 38m NE-SW) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone with a shallow external fosse. The original entrance was not recognisable. The rath has since been levelled, however, the outline of the enclosing bank (Wth c. 4m) and fosse (Wth 2.7m) may still be traced.
