In flat pasture falling gently to the SE. A ringfort (WA017-121----) was uncovered in an excavation c. 150m to the SW and prehistoric activity (WA017-121001-), in the form of post-holes and a possible cremation pit, were recovered c. 20m W of the fosse of rath. In 2019 testing (19E0143) was carried out in advance of a proposed housing development (Sutton 2019, unpublished report). Excavation revealed a sub-circular shallow pit (diam. 0.7m; D 0.14m) filled by a dark grey silty clay containing frequent charcoal flecks, moderate large charcoal pieces and large flat, cracked stones (av. Size 0.2m x 0.2m x 0.4m) (ibid. 4). A worked flint pebble scrapper was found in the pit (ibid.). An area 5m x 5m was exposed around the pit but no other archaeological features were identified (ibid.).
