What is recorded here

In low-lying marshy grassland c. 22m to the N of a stream. This possible rath (diam. 25.5m), in fair condition, is defined by an earthen bank (Wth 1.3-2.3m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.8m) which is overgrown with bushes. No visible surface trace survives from E to S. A field wall cuts across the monument from N to S. Possibly a rath that was re-used as a tree-ring enclosure.
