Moat-like fosse on the northern side of the fort. I guess that from bottom of fosse to top of rampart is about 4 metres in places.

Large, roadside rath or ringfort, a mile or so south of Ballyvaughan in the parish of Ballyallaban (town of the scot). Well worth a stop on your way into wedge tomb country.
