What is recorded here

On a gentle N-facing slope in pasture. Hachured as a rath on the 1840 and 1920 OS 6-inch maps and on the 25-inch plan. Listed in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996) as an enclosure. On inspection in 1999 it was not visible at ground level. Very low traces of some low banks are visible on Google Earth (imagery date 16 January 2011) along what would have been the S perimeter.
