Recorded monuments

• GA117-037 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In low-lying grassland. When initially visited by the Survey in July 1983, this very poorly preserved circular rath (diam. 33m) was defined by a bank from SE through W to NNW. The line of an external fosse was indicated by a band of nettles. The monument was heavily overgrown with hawthorn and thistles. On a revisit in 1992, it was noted that the interior of the monument had been cleared of overgrowth to provide a feeding area for cattle.
