What is recorded here

In pasture, on a W-facing slope. A subcircular area (44.8m E-W; 36.8m N-S), covered by overgrowth, defined by an earthen bank (int. H 0.65m; ext. H 0.7m). The bank NW-NNE and along the NE arc may have been raised to create a field boundary. A possible external fosse is evident SE-W. There are breaks (Wth 2m) in the bank at ENE and S. The interior slopes down to the WSW. A trackway skirts the bank externally NW-NNE. There is a possible souterrain (KE048-061001-) in this rath. A possible fulacht fia (KE048-060----) lies c. 25m to the SW.
