H 0.2-0.3m; ext H 1.5-2m), and elsewhere by a scarp. At the outer foot of the scarp and bank at NW there is a wide fosse (Wth 6.6m) with an external bank (Wth 5.7m; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 0.8m, at NW). An E-W field fence truncates the fosse and external bank at N. Elsewhere the fosse can be discerned only as a shallow depression and the external bank has been removed. At SE a break (Wth 2m) in the scarp, faced on the NE side with stones, represents the original entrance. The E half of the rath is rath is bisected by a N-S field fence. Compiled by: Patrick F.
