What is recorded here

On top of a broad low hill. Circular grass and covered area (diam. 26.5m N-S) defined by an earthen bank N-NNE (Wth 3.2m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.7m) and E-S (at S: Wth 4.4m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.8m), and a scarp (H 0.3-0.7m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or entrance, but a pond surrounded by trees has been excavated inside the perimeter at NE. The perimeter cuts rath (RO011-141001-) which is immediately to the W, while rath (RO011-140----) is c. 150m to the N. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
