What is recorded here

In pasture, located on a low elevation, with a fall of ground to E to an area of flat wettish ground. This possible rath is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m), bisected to N of centre by a NE–SW field boundary; by the time of the 1922 edition, only the NW third is shown, depicted as a semi-circular hachured area with the straight side to SE. It has been levelled. An oblong rise (16m NW-SE; c. 25-30m NE–SW), defined along its NW arc by a slight scarp, representing the NW-N arc of the enclosure, can still be discerned. Further faint undulations are visible to S, but the full outline of the enclosure is no longer visible at ground level. There is another possible rath (MA038-117----) 140m to N.
