What is recorded here

Marked as a small feature (diam. c. 20m) only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated towards the bottom of a NE-facing slope in the lawn of a modern house. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 18.4m NNW-SSE; 14.8m ENE-WSW) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.4-0.6m) with four young oak trees planted on it. It had a slight outer fosse or ditch (Gannon 1972) that is no longer visible. It might be a rath, and rath (RO045-147----) is c. 200m to the SSW.
