What is recorded here
Visible as a circular feature on aerial images OSI (2010), Bing (c. 2013) and Google Earth (2005), but not on earlier series such as OSI (1995, 2000). It is situated on a level landscape, and its construction c. 2005 as a very good imitation rath is confirmed locally. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 21m) defined by a flat-topped earthen bank (Wth of base 4.7-5.5m; int. H 0.7m; ext. H 0.7-0.8m) with no fosse. There is an entrance gap (Wth of top 4.5m; Wth of base 1.3m) at NE.
