What is recorded here

Situated on a low rise in rough, coastal pasture. Raised circular area (diam. 42m N-S) enclosed at SW by a bank (Wth. 2.8m; int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1.5m) and elsewhere defined by a vertically-cut scarp (H 1.5m at N, 1.9m at W). The external face of the bank and scarp have been faced with stone. A modern NNW-SSE field boundary cuts through the E half of the interior, and immediately to E of this the NE quadrant of the rath has been removed. Original entrance not recognisable.
