  Description

  On a gentle S-facing slope. A roughly circular area (c. 27m N-S; 25m E-W) enclosed by two flat-topped earthen banks with an intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.4m) is heavily eroded. The flat-bottomed intervening fosse (Wth 4m) is boggy. The outer bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.2m) is only evident along the S and W arcs. The S portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. The rath is covered with overgrowth. Indicated on both the 1838 and 1914 OS 6-inch maps as an embanked circular area (diam. c. 25m) incorporated into the field boundary system NNW-E.
