What is recorded here

In pasture, situated on a low drumlin hillock in rolling countryside. Views are limited by higher ground in most directions. This rath consists of a raised subcircular area (34.2m NW-SE; 28m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (H 1.75m at SSW). The scarp has been incorporated into a later field boundary at NNW−SSE, and modified in parts by the addition of drystone facing. The rath is engulfed in scrub.
