This is a grass and rush-covered circular area (diam. 25.8m N-S; 25.1m E-W; int. dims 23.5m N-S; 21m E-W) defined by a grass-covered earthen bank (at N: Wth of base 4.1m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.6m) and an external fosse (at N: Wth of base 2.3m; ext. D 0.3m) largely traceable as a band of rushes, with an outer bank (Wth of base 2m; ext. H 0.2m) NE-E. The original entrance is not identified, and the fosse at SE is truncated by a NE-SW field bank.

• LE031-002 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Located towards the top of the E-facing slope of a prominent drumlin. This is a grass-covered circular area (int. diam. 29m E-W; 28m N-S) defined by the slight remains of an earthen bank (Wth 3m; H 0.15m). No fosse or original entrance was noted. Archaeological testing (01E0702) c. 80m to the E at a development site (dims c. 65m E-W; c. 50m N-S) produced no related material (Read 2003). Further testing and excavation (05E1402) identified a possible prehistoric hut-site (LE031-002001-) c. 40m to the SW. The location of this rath was excluded from the development and it is now preserved under grass (Read 2008).
