What is recorded here

In rolling pastureland. Marked on the 1st edition (1838) of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure; partially levelled by the time of the 3rd edition (1933). This poorly preserved rath (diam. 40m) is defined by a low bank from N through E to S. A field wall cuts through it from NW to SW and no visible surface trace of it survives to the W of the wall.
