What is recorded here

In pasture, located on low N−S ridge, with good views. Raised roughly circular area (29.5m E−W; 27.3 N−S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.3m; int. H 0.65m at E, 0.9m at W; ext. H 1.25m). At NW−NE the bank has been incorporated into or replaced by a field fence, faced internally and externally with drystone walling, which retains the curve of the rath. There is a break (Wth 1m) at NW and another (Wth 1m) at NE. At SE there is a low area in the bank with a line of stones on its inner edge, possibly a blocked up entrance gap. Immediately outside the bank at SW−SE is a low berm-like feature (Wth 1-3m; H 0.2m). The interior is level, with a very a slight slope from centre down to E. Occasional boulders break the surface; there is a heap of stones to NE of centre. Grass cover; mature conifers growing in interior. There is a rath (MA040-040----) 100m to S.
