What is recorded here

On a gentle N-facing slope in pastureland. Poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 23.6m) defined by a bank. A field wall cuts the monument at NNW and NNE. McCaffrey (1952, 215, no. 32) noted traces of an external fosse at S but no visible surface trace of it survives. There is a large depression (11m E-W; 3m N-S) in the SE quadrant of the interior.
