What is recorded here

On a gentle NNE-facing slope in pasture. A raised subcircular area (c. 38m NNW-SSE; c. 32m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.6m; H 0.4m) and a shallow external fosse (Wth 3.1m), which is identifiable only at SW. The outer face of the bank has been steepened and incorporated into a field boundary. The original entrance is not recognisable. The rath is very densely overgrown with scrub rendering satisfactory inspection impossible. Another ringfort (LF021-043----) lies c. 50m to the SSE. Compiled by: Patrick F.
