What is recorded here

Located in pasture, on a W-facing slope. This possible rath is not indicated on the 1837 OS 6-inch map, but shown on the 1940 edition as a D-shaped hachured area, defined on the straight side at E by a road. It consists of a slightly raised oval area (c. 39m N−S; 32m E−W) defined at SE−W by a scarp (H 0.5m) and at W−N by an earthen bank (Wth 2.3m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.5m), with faint traces of an external fosse (Wth 1.7m) at the NW. At NNE−ESE the enclosure is defined by a modern field wall bordering a public road. The interior slopes from E−W, mirroring the natural fall of ground. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 21 April 2011
