What is recorded here

On a W-facing slope in grassland with bogland to the S. This well-preserved subcircular rath (54m N-S; 48m E-W) is defined by a bank and external fosse. The bank is overgrown with trees and is best preserved from S to SSW and from NW to NE (Wth 2.5m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.8m). The fosse (Wth 3.5m) is obscured with overgrowth but is most clearly visible from SE to SW. There is a wide causewayed gap (Wth 12m) at NE. A N-S field boundary runs to the E of the site.
