What is recorded here

Shown as a ‘Rath’ on Taylor's 1783 Map of County Kildare but not recorded on any edition of the subsequent OS mapping. The area was archaeologically trail-trenched in advance of a motorway scheme, but no archaeological material was revealed. Quarrying is known to have taken place previously in this area, and may have resulted in the destruction of the monument?
