What is recorded here

In rough grazing land. This poorly preserved subcircular rath (52m E-W; 50m N-S) is defined by a bank of earth and stone from ESE to S, and by a scarp from NNW through N to NNE. A field boundary overlies the enclosing element elsewhere. A gap (Wth 6m) at E appears to be modern. Field boundaries radiate from the monument at NW and N. Within the interior, two banks of earth and stone indicate internal divisions. Another rath (GA128-029----) lies c. 25m to the NE.
