What is recorded here

In level pastureland. Well-preserved circular rath (diam. c. 35m) defined by a bank and external fosse; the latter is best preserved at SE. There are gaps in the bank at NE (Wth 7m) and SE (Wth 1.4m). Traces of a causeway exist outside the latter, which was probably the original entrance.
