What is recorded here

On a slope in low-lying marshy grassland. Circular rath (diam. 27.9m), in fair condition, defined by a bank obscured by overgrowth. No visible surface trace of the enclosing element survives from ENE to SE. A roughly E-W running field wall cuts through the rath at SSE and WSW and the area to the S of it is densely overgrown with trees and bushes.
