What is recorded here

On a hillslope in pastureland overlooking land that is liable to flooding to the NW. This well-preserved rath (diam. 45.45m) is defined by two banks and an intervening fosse. McCaffrey (1952, 286, no. 8) noted traces of a ‘stone revetment’ on the internal face of the inner bank and on both faces of the fosse.
