  Description

  On a hillock in otherwise level grassland. Poorly preserved and much-overgrown subcircular rath (WSW-ENE 32m, NNW-SSE 26.5m) defined by a scarp. Until 1982 an intervening fosse and outer bank survived from SW to N; they were subsequently removed during land clearance. Centrally placed within the interior is a small stony mound which the landowner believed was a 'cave'; a possible souterrain. A CBG (GA086-060001-) is also associated.
