What is recorded here

In pasture, located on a ridge, close to the break of slope on the S side. Ground falls towards a stream 30m to S. Views are restricted now by trees and farm buildings. Slightly raised circular area (26.3m E−W; 25.5m N−S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1m at WNW) on the W half of the circuit, reduced to a scarp (H 2.4m; Wth slope 4.2m) on the E half. The bank has a very low internal slope, with stones protruding in parts. The scarp is lowest on the NE arc and a poorly defined, slumped section (Wth c. 3m) of at NE, facing the spine of the ridge top, may mark an original entrance. Grass cover, with hawthorn trees around the perimeter on the E half. There are raths (MA071-037----; MA071-038----; MA071-040----) 200m to NW, 220m to SW and 100m to E, respectively.
