What is recorded here

In undulating pasture. An arc of earthen bank (Wth 2.4m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.7m) W-E abuts a linear field boundary at S (L 18.5m), enclosing a semicircular area (dim. 16.2m N-S). It is best preserved along the NW arc. There are breaks in the bank at WNW (Wth 2.95m) and at NNW (Wth 5.2m). The bank and the uneven surface of the interior are overgrown with briars and ferns. The rath is indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map.
