What is recorded here

Located on level ground in an area of undulating average pasture. Views are restricted by rising ground to N and E. Circular area (diam. 37m N-S) defined by a severely degraded bank (Wth c. 4m; max. H 0.5m). The bank is best preserved at W−NE; it peters out at E−SE to a slight rise, overlain by field clearance debris, and is levelled at S−W, where the rath is truncated at the junction of two later field walls. A band of thistles (Wth 4-5m) outside the bank to NE may indicate an infilled fosse. The interior, which is not noticeably raised, has an uneven surface, strewn with boulders. There appears to be a depression close to the inner face of the bank at N and NW, but it was obscured by overgrowth at the time of visit. According to local tradition, the rath was used as a children’s burial ground (MA031-023001-). There is an E−W farm track immediately to S of the rath.
