What is recorded here

On a SE-facing slope in pastureland. Well-preserved circular rath (diam. 36.8m) defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. A causewayed entrance gap (Wth 2.8m) is visible at E. Some stone protruding from the sod cover here may be the remains of a stone revetment. Numerous modern gaps cut the inner bank in NW sector. Cultivation ridges encroach upon the outer bank at E.
