What is recorded here

At the top of a low rise in boggy undulating pastureland, with wide views except to the S where there is higher ground. Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as 'Enclosure' in the RMP (1996). This subcircular rath (20.5m N-S; 20m E-W) is enclosed by a round-topped earthen bank (Wth 3.2m at base; Wth 0.8-1m at top; int. H 0.2-0.45m; ext. H 0.4-0.75m). A dip in the bank (Wth 2.2m) at E probably marks the entrance.
