What is recorded here

On good quality level meadowland at the SE foot of a low ridge. A poorly preserved oval rath (int. dims. 36m NW–SE; 32m ENE–WSW crest to crest) defined by a low and generally flat-topped earthen bank (ext. H 0.3–0.7m; int. H 0.3–0.9m). There is no visible trace of an outer fosse or entrance and later field walls traverse the site. The site is overlooked by an ecclesiastical enclosure and associated remains (CL002-014001-to CL002-014004-) c. 150m to the N.
