Indicated

In pasture at the junction of two field fences, located on a low rise. Views are good to N, but somewhat restricted generally by field fences and trees. Substantially raised circular area or platform (22.5m E−W; 19.8m N−S) defined by a scarp (H 1.4m at S, 1.6m at NNW), which is enhanced by the natural slope. At S−W the scarp has been modified and incorporated into a N−S and a E−W field fence which intersect at the rath, and largely respect its curve; here the scarp is faced with drystone walling, and is topped by a low jumble of loose stones. The scarp on the E arc has an almost vertical face, and shows evidence of erosion. The interior has a slight slope down from centre to SW. The original entrance is not obvious; it may have been at SE where there is a low section of scarp, now partly blocked by a field fence. A ring of deciduous and coniferous trees are planted around the perimeter on top of the rath platform. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 17 June 2020
