What is recorded here

In wet, rush-grown pasture, located on a rush-grown, damp terrace on a SE-facing slope. It overlooks a valley of wet marsh ground, with a stream c. 100m to E. Circular platform (estimated diam. 35m E−W) defined by an earthen scarp (H 1.3m at SE, 0.9m at W) and enclosed by a fosse (Wth 2.3m at W). The scarp is progressively lower and more degraded from NE–E; it is absent or levelled at E–ESE, possibly marking the original entrance. The fosse is best defined at W–NW, where its base is very wet and soggy; it is visible elsewhere only as a slight wet depression, and is truncated at S–SW by a field drain (Wth 0.8m) on a NW–SE axis, with a parallel field bank on its outer edge. The rath is engulfed in a thicket of blackthorn, which impedes examination. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 13 August 2021
