What is recorded here

On the gentle SE-facing slope of a broad hill. Rectangular grass-covered area (dims 61.3m E-W; 42m N-S) defined by earthen banks (Wth 2.2-3.2m; int. H 0.1-0.3m; ext. H 0.6m) on the N and E sides, and a scarp (H 0.35-1m) elsewhere. There are fosses (Wth of top 4.4-6m; Wth of base 2.1-3.7m; D 0.15-0.45m) on each side, but there is no visible entrance. Magnetic gradiometry conducted by the Discovery Programme in 2008 revealed an earlier enclosure or rath (RO028-165002-) inside the NW corner. The possible rath (RO029-164----) is c. 190m to the W.
