What is recorded here

On a slight rise in undulating pastureland. A mixed tree plantation, named 'Ring Grove' on the OS 6-inch maps lay immediately to the SW but the trees have since been cleared. This poorly preserved subcircular rath (37.4m NE-SW) is defined by an inner bank (Wth 1.9m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.5m) with traces of a fosse and possible outer bank from SW to NW. The latter may be associated with the enclosing element of grove. A possible souterrain (GA105-159001-) is associated.
