What is recorded here

On a gentle W-facing slope of a broad W-E spur, and first identified by Gannon (1972). This is a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 36m E-W; 33m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3-4m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.4-0.65m) at NW-N and S-S, and by a scarp (H 0.25m) S-NW. The straight E side is defined by a scarp (H 0.6m) and has been truncated by a N-S field bank and hedge. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. Enclosure (RO034-076----), immediately to the NE, impinges on the perimeter at NE. Rath (RO034-072----) is c. 100m to the N and rath (RO034-073----) is c. 180m to the NE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
