What is recorded here

At the crest of the E-facing slope of a small drumlin. Oval grass-covered area (dims 33.5m N-S; 27m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.2-0.4m; ext. H 0.8-1.5m) and traces of a fosse (Wth of base 2-3.8m; D 0.2-0.3m) ENE-SE. The perimeter is incorporated into an overgrown and partially straightened field bank SE-W-N and it has been removed N-ENE. There is no identifiable original entrance, but a possible hut-site (RO011-020002-) is visible as a subcircular platform (diam. 7m ENE-WSW) NW of the centre. Rath (RO011-019----) is c. 110m to the W.
