What is recorded here

Marked as an oval embanked enclosure (ext. dims. c. 45m E-W; c. 30m N-S) on the 1837 and 1914 eds. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a gentle S-facing slope. Described as an oval area defined by an earthen bank and fosse and traces of an outer bank (Gannon 1972). It is now a circular grass-covered area (diam. 43m E-W; 41m N-S) defined by a band of lusher vegetation. Rath (RO040-008----) is c. 65m to the W.
