What is recorded here

Adjacent to the SE quadrant of a rath (LF011-026001-) is a rectangular enclosure/annexe (24m NE–SW; 18.5m NW–SE) defined on its NE side by a scarp (H 0.7m) and on its SE and SW sides by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3-4.3m; H 0.5-0.55m) with an external fosse (Wth 3.8-4.4m; D 0.5m). A depression in the N end of the scarp may mark the original entrance (Wth. 1.4m). The relationship between the rath and the enclosure is unclear; the latter may be an annexe or later feature.
