What is recorded here

On a low rise in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 51.5m) enclosed by a partially levelled low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5m; H 0.3m max.) with a wide, deep, partially waterlogged intervening fosse (Wth 6.3m; D 1.3m) and a very wide, low outer bank (Wth 9.9m; H 1.1m) from ESE–S–NW. Elsewhere this bank has been levelled but its outline is still identifiable. There is also an outer fosse (Wth c. 4.5m) of which only the outline is visible. The original entrance is not recognisable. The rath is densely overgrown with vegetation rendering satisfactory inspection impossible. Compiled by: Patrick F.
