What is recorded here

On a shelf of level ground on a S-facing slope. A raised subcircular area (diam. 42m E-W; 40m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.9-1.75m) to which modern drystone-walling has been applied at SW. At the base of the scarp from WNW-N-NE and at ESE is a largely infilled fosse (Wth 4-5m; D 0.1-0.2m). A depression (Wth 4m) in the scarp at ENE with an accompanying ramp may mark the original entrance. The rath is divided into roughly equal portions by a modern NNW-SSE field boundary.
