What is recorded here

In gently undulating grassland. An almost circular rath (39.8m E-W; 38.3m N-S), in fair condition, defined by a bank except at S and from NW to N where a scarp forms the enclosing element. Traces of inner stone-facing survive intermittently. The monument is cut by a field wall at NNW and NNE. Within the interior a series of earthen banks may be associated internal divisions.
