What is recorded here

On wet low-lying ground, c. 80m from a stream. A raised circular area (diam. c. 25m) enclosed by a much-denuded, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.8m; H 0.75m max.) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.4m). A break (Wth 2.6m) in the bank at NNE with an accompanying causeway marks the original entrance. The rath is densely overgrown with scrub rendering satisfactory inspection impossible.
