What is recorded here

Marked only on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure, with earthwork (RO017-025001-) attached to the SW, although there was perhaps ever only one feature at this location. Situated at the crest of the S-facing slope of an ENE-WSW drumlin ridge. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 30.5m NW-SE; 28.5m NE-SW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.95m) N-E and by a scarp (H 0.3-0.6m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or entrance. Rath (RO017-024----) is c. 160m to the SW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
