What is recorded here

In improved pasture, located on gently rising ground. Good views E–SE, restricted by rising ground to NW. Circular platform (22.2m NE–SW; c. 23m NW–SE) defined S–NE by a scarp (H 1m at NW), outside which it is enclosed SSE–N by a fosse (Wth 3.2m at NW), with an external bank (Wth 3.3m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 0.7m at NW) at SW–N. At SSE–SSW the fosse takes the form of a terrace and its outer edge is incorporated into a field fence on a NE–SW axis. The SE quadrant of the rath interior and the SE arc of the fosse and external bank have been quarried away. Another quarry pit (8m NE–SW; c. 4m NW-SE; D 1.1m) cuts into the rath interior, just inside the scarp at NW–N. Grass cover, with hawthorn and gorse on the perimeter, especially at S–SW. A rath (MA092-060001-) is located 200m to SE. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 9 February 2022
