What is recorded here

In pasture, on a SW-facing slope with views to Mangerton Mountain. A circular area (43m NE-SW; 42m NW-SE) defined by the remains of an earthen bank (Wth 9m; int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.8m) SE-NE and by a scarp (H 0.45m) NE-SE. The fosse, S-NE, is substantial where it is skirted by the townland boundary S-NNW and is shallower (D 0.45m) NNW-NE. A possible outer bank is evident as a low rise along the N arc. The interior, which has been slightly raised to compensate for the hillslope, slopes down gently to the SW.
