What is recorded here

Inside the perimeter of rath (ME012-042----) at NW is a sunken area (dims 15.8m E-W; 5.9N-S) with the grass-covered remains of a wall footing. Another sunken area (dims 10.5m N-S; 6.5m E-W) inside the bank at SW might also be a building, but both probably post-date the abandonment of the rath.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record ME012-042001
