What is recorded here

On a rise in rough pastureland. Poorly preserved subcircular rath (37m N-S; 35m E-W) defined by a bank which is obscured by field-clearance rubble from NW through E to SW. A modern field wall, running NW-SE, cuts through W half of the monument. Traces of an L-shaped bank of earth and boulders visible in the SE quadrant of the interior may possibly be the foundations of a house site.
