What is recorded here

On a hillock in gently rolling pastureland, a N flowing stream is visible to the W. Very poorly preserved subcircular rath (47.5m N-S; c. 42m E-W) defined by a scarp from NNW to NE (max. H 1m) and from SE to S (max. H 0.5m); elsewhere no visible surface trace survives. Two more raths (GA100-090---- and GA100-092----) lie c. 250m to the NW and c. 300m to the WSW respectively.
