What is recorded here

In pastureland. Oval rath (c. 55m N-S; c. 40m E-W), in fair condition, defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. A field boundary cut through the monument at W and E, and another clips it at S. The inner bank is visible from NE through S to NNW but is badly eroded from SE to SSW; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. The fosse and outer bank survive from NE to SE and slight traces are evident from SSW to NNW. Either of two gaps at E and NW could be original.
