What is recorded here

Located on the SE-facing slope of a long, high NE-SW drumlin ridge, and c. 160m NW of the site of Rahans House, a large farm complex depicted on the 1834 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map but no longer extant. The feature is depicted as a shapeless copse on the 1834 and as a small circular enclosure on the 1907 editions of the map. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 23m N-S; 23m E-W) defined by a low earthen bank (at S: Wth of base 3.7m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 1.9m) with some bushes and trees. There is no visible fosse or recognisable entrance. This could be a rath that was adapted as a tree ring. Date of upload: 14 April 2011
