What is recorded here

In pasture, on a S-facing slope with views SE to The Paps of Dana. An arc (C 60m) of a scarp (H 0.2m) NE-E and of a low earthen bank (Wth 2.6m; int. H 0.25m; ext. H 1m) E-SE abuts the E side of a field boundary. This may be the remains of a rath, but there are no visible remains of it on the W side of the field boundary. A possible souterrain (KE067-102----) was recently found at the SE terminus of the arc. There is a local tradition of a rath in the area.
