What is recorded here

In pasture, on a N-facing slope. This rath is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. According to local information, it was levelled in the 1970s. The present remains consist of a roughly circular area (c. 32m E-W; c. 30m N-S) defined by a low rise which is more pronounced along the E and S arcs. There is a possible souterrain (KE066-043001-) in the interior. A second rath (KE066-042----) lies c. 100m to the W.
