What is recorded here

On a SSW-facing slope in pasture. A raised subcircular area (46m E-W; 42m N-S) enclosed from ENE-E-SE and at SW and NW by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5-5.7m; H 0.5-0.6m). Elsewhere the defining element is a scarp (H 0.7-1.9m). An external fosse (Wth 5.7-7.7m; D 0.5-0.6m) is evident from WNW-NW and from ENE-E-S. A break (Wth 4.5m) in the bank at ESE marks the original entrance. The rath is divided into unequal portions by a NE-SW field boundary. Compiled by: Patrick F.
