What is recorded here

In level pasture. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. 38m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone. There was no trace of a fosse and the original entrance was not recognisable. The rath was levelled in 1988 (local information) and only the outline of its perimeter, marked by a low scarp (H 0.2-0.8m), is identifiable. From SSW-W-WNW it is skirted by a roadway.
