What is recorded here
Ahapouleen holds a long, narrow enclosure sixty metres from a rath, its west edge marked by a bank of earth and stone while a field wall closes the south. The shape suggests people once kept livestock, tools or memory inside a boundary they believed would last. That much resistance in open pastureland still asks to be seen, touched and carried into local thought.
In undulating pastureland, c. 60m to the SSE of a rath (GA102-001001-). This subrectangular raised area (L 28m; Wth 11.5m) is defined by a bank of earth and stone along the W side, a scarp along N and E sides and a field wall on the S side.
