What is recorded here

On a very gentle S-facing slope in low-lying pasture. This raised circular area (diam. c. 27m) is defined by a scarp (H 0.8m) and an external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.5m). An outer bank noted from N-NE-E in 1976 (SMR file) is no longer visible. The original entrance is not recognisable. Adjoining the rath at SSE is a rectangular annexe (c. 25m ENE-WSW; c. 20m NNW-SSE) defined by a low scarp (H 0.1-0.3m) with a very narrow shallow external fosse (Wth 1.1m; D 0.1m).
