What is recorded here

In undulating grassland. A well-preserved circular rath (diam. 24m) defined by a bank of earth and stone and an external fosse; traces of the latter only survive intermittently. Some inner stone-facing is visible at N. A gap (Wth 3.5m) at ESE may be original. Two house sites (GA122-026001- and GA122-026002-) are visible in the interior at W and N, and internal divisions are evident in NE and SE quadrants.
