What is recorded here

In pasture, on a SE-facing slope. A roughly circular area (64m N-S; c. 57m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.6m) NE-E and a scarp (H 2.1m) E-NE. A possible entrance is at S. The relatively flat interior slopes down to the SE. The perimeter is covered in overgrowth and breached by machinery in places. A trackway for farm machinery skirts the perimeter externally. Another rath (KE066-038----) is c. 70m to the NW.
