What is recorded here

Enclosure in Ratharney, County Longford, holds a hidden chamber beside its parent rath. The river has swallowed the south wall, dragging stone and memory into its current. What remains is a low scar and a shallow ditch, waiting for the water to retreat and reveal the shape of the room beneath.

Adjoining a rath (LF023-106----) at W. This enclosure is defined by a low scarp (H 0.3-0.5m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 1.6m; D 0.2m) from NW-N-ENE. It appears that it was originally semicircular or subrectangular in plan but its S part is occupied by a substantial bank of drainage spoil from the adjacent river, rendering interpretation difficult. The relationship between the it and the rath is unclear; it may be an annexe. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 15 February 2012
