What is recorded here

On a hillock in undulating pastureland. This almost circular rath (31m E-W; 30m N-S), in fair condition, is defined by a bank of earth and stone and an external fosse. The bank is visible from SW to WNW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse is survives from S to SW and from NW to NNE. A gap at E may be original. Trees have been planted along the enclosing element from S through W to NE. A series of low grassed-over field banks radiate from the monument at NNE and SE.
