What is recorded here
Located on a shelf on the W-facing slope of Sheebeg Hill. It is visible as a D-shaped feature on aerial photographs (GSIAP: H 76-7). It was recorded in 1991 (SMR file) as a grass-covered D-shaped platform (dims c. 28m N-S; c. 14m E-W) defined by a slight fosse (Wth 2m) NW-E-SW, but it is truncated by a N-S field bank at W. It was not visible in 1997 but is probably a rath. Rath (LE028-019----) is c. 55m to the N. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003).
