What is recorded here

At the S edge of a small plateau in reclaimed pasture with a stream c. 80m to the S. Hachured on the 1840 OS 6-inch map as a rath and on the 1920 Cassini edition and the 25-inch plan as an oval enclosure (c. 35m N-S; c. 25m E-W) bisected by a N-S field wall. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). On inspection in 1999 only a possible scarp (Wth 3m; H 1.2m) at S (E of the field wall) was visible with thinner vegetation for 30-40m to the N. Not visible on available aerial imagery (2024).
