What is recorded here

On a low rise of a broad NW-SE ridge. Circular grass-covered area (diam. c. 27m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.95m) N-E-S, and by a scarp (H 0.6m at N to 1.2m at SW) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse but the entrance (Wth 3m) is at ESE. A drystone wall skirts the perimeter S-SW, and a disused NW-SE field bank overlies the perimeter at NE. Rath (RO016-064----) is c. 210m to the NE.
